SimpleX can be self hosted

not sure how this is confusing, simplex is a chat app with privacy as the #1 priority; OP wanted a private alternative to whatsapp, simplex is that alternative.

As in, activitypub is not suited for chatting apps. A decentralized protocol specifically designed for messaging (matrix,xmpp,simplex) would fit better here.
