This is a centralization problem. Come and force federation upon my SimpleX server in Iceland!

Indeed. I wish your comment was the most visible here.

Signal and Threema can be all about privacy, but they are still companies which can make money only by keeping their service as centralized as possible.

Decentralised messaging like Matrix, XMPP, Jami, have no issue with interoperability.

SimpleX looked pretty intriguing...is it basically a better / private / more secure replacement for IRC?

pretty much, though it's pretty basic in terms of functionality at the moment
