So can someone redpill me on secure chat/voicechat programs? Anything worth using yet? Last I remember was that Tox had internal drama and development was super slow. What about Signal?

Nothing but Signal and IRC
Been looking at this myself OP. If you want something open source (and can be self hosted), Riot seems to be the best bet.
However, kind of difficult for non-technical users.
You don't want the redpill, you want the truth instead.
Look at what the EFF recommends. Signal is one of these, so it's fine.
