just asking what is a good one
simplex
Matrix, and I recommend selfhosting Continuwuity as it is lightweight and easy to spin up. Your other option could be XMPP with Snikket or proper Prosody.
Though do you have any particular features you wanna bring over from Facebook Messenger?
Matrix
but what good client that isnt designed for just businesses
Gomuks and Sable
Personally I like Sable, it feels closer to Discord, has call support, and “just works”
I’d say Element is the one to go for. A list of clients is available here:

Matrix and element clients
I tried a bunch. Right now I’m running Snikket (xmpp) and it’s been very reliable.
Pidgin, maybe. I like it.
Edit: Oops, I might have misread/misunderstood what you were asking. If you’re asking about server software, I’d suggest XMPP :)
Though I know Matrix is very popular (as shown by people others suggesting it)
Man, I haven’t used pidgin in almost 20 years. Throwback, or whatever the kids say these days.
