uTox – The Lightweight Tox Client
See also this somewhat infamous thread on Tox's cryptographic design[1].

Tox seems slowly dying (change my mind), what alternatives have you researched?
In case with Tox you have to trust in homebrew crypto that was never properly audited (how about that security issue reported by Donenfeld in 2017, which is being tackled only now, sort of?) -- and outdated and outright abandoned clients which were never above, let's say, "beta quality".

qTox unmaintained. Is this the end of qTox?
it has the new group chat feature (https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore/pull/2269)

My list of favorite secure messaging apps
What an arbitrary criteria to judge a project by. There have been 5 releases in the past year, including a major feature release.

I know Privacy Guides is the new version of Privacy Tools, but even if so, do the recommendations (or at least most of them) in the old site still apply today?
Signal isn't falling behind and Tox is an old service that has had issues with messages being spoofable since day 1

E2E encrypted voice and chat service similar to Discord/Slack?
You could use a Tox front end like qTox or Toxic. It is a fully encrypted end-to-end communication protocol that allows text, voice, and video chat. The github page for the Tox protocol has some useful caveats about the its security.

Tox: Decentralized and Encrypted Instant Messaging
It links to a bug report discussion where one of the developers states that they don't understand the security properties of tox very well[1].
I find that worrying.

I made a Proof-of-Concept for a completely uncensorable and decentralized Reddit Clone with all messages saved on a blockchain - what do you guys think?
you are right ipfs is probably close to the right solution, interesting little project I found https://cabal.chat/

Leftists and Anarchists specifically should really learn to embrace open source software and privacy.
P2P doesn't just mean crypto, which more naturally lends itself towards money and markets. It can also be oriented towards information sharing, akin to Bittorrent. Check out https://hypercore-protocol.org/ and https://cabal.chat/ for instance. Chats, social media and cloud services without servers or the blockchain.
-
Telegram Ad Platform
There are many P2P chat/instant message platforms but they are very niche.
For example: https://cabal.chat/
There isn't a way to monetize an open P2P protocol, or even a "captive user base" to sell to VCs for a cash exit so not a lot of development has been done on that area. (And I would be highly skeptical of any "blockchain" P2P Chat proposal)
