idk if you are expecting to get a simple, point me on answer, but this is a not simple topic. i will make a summ for you.
get own server, install on instance vpn server, dns server, get your own certificates, install matrix or other open source, by public verified soft. Same goes for all the small parts on the server, no propietary sw, even bios. get another copy of the same server hw, set 2nd leg to have 24/7 up and running service.
root your phone, get rid off all the shit on the phone, no goole no google play, no big bro app, sandbox it, get riot, block mic from all apps, just keep for the riot app, restrict apps to max on root level, but keep it still functional for tge purpose of the communication. same goes for your mate on the other site of communication channel. if the one device in chain is weak the whole chain is vulnerable.
connect riot with matrix, use all the time owndns and vpn, utilize and update devices and servers accordingly to the latest trends
you will still leak ip address and some meta data to matrix, but if the data flow will be crypted between instances, no1 should be the big brother in this case, only you will become one ๐
this basically means a "shut up" to me. this is not a proper answer to my problem.
By 'riot' did you mean 'element'? and thank you.
my comment should not offend anyone, my apologize
yes, riot >>> element
explanation for "sharp" wording> often i get on web a thing, a lot of people expect to be private, secure and confident about their status of privacy and security with minimum knowledge and effort. Best case scenario > get a simple, point me on answer, have already existing platform/app to use. There are many ready tools, good tools to use, but no complex platform. You should know the small reliable fragments and put them together in the way u need and like.
there is no straight forward way to cover this, there is no "10 things how to keep your mobile communication secure and private" and if you see something like that, its some pseudo tech article written by whoeverfck for woeverfck reason and purpose. It may offer a partial solution, but no partial solution can be applied on this topic.
you like to have it set correct way, dig so deep that you will hit the bottom and even after that you should question your status if its everything correct/ if you are on latest update, unfortunately we are going full speed and accelerating more with digital age/selves, people should care about their digital identities more. Its super time consuming, you need to have at least some tech background, drive and some money to invest in hw. Build it from the bottom, to have a stable basis, which should be enabler/provider for dynamical changes on the top, as the changes are inevitably coming.
There so much things on the way, their are coming and going, its dynamic process, its IT, continuous change. observe > adapt > overcome (or exploit :D)

i dont recall lemmy as a wast platform with a wide spectrum of user such as reddit or some fb groups. This is for me more focused, specific, granular "soc app", no lazy questions > no lazy answers. So I wrote a short "lazy" answer.
ps - i hope i will not get dissappointed with lemmy as I did with HN (as its heavily adminized, monetized, scalled and used for individual group interests)
