what are other options?
Matrix. It can be self hosted, federated, and has encrypted chat rooms.

Isn't matrix like an absolute non for privacy?
I wasn't aware of that. I've even seen vendors using it.
I know it's E2EE and open source but there is a lot of Metadata.
What other limitations does it have?
Matrix has the tendency to require all participants's servers to replicate all of the room state (who joined when, who said what when, whose avatar changed to what when, ...) practically forever, and is sucking a ton of bandwidth and CPU for the privilege. It's pretty bad, unfixable, and, if you ask me, over hyped.
Why? You can connect over a VPN or TOR, can sign up with an email, and it can most likely be hosted on a as a hidden service on I2P or TOR.
How is telegram better?

I've never said Telegram is better. I'm just saying Matrix is also bad.
XMPP is the future.
