Matrix may be interesting https://matrix.org/

It has ETE chat, but I am not sure about audio/video. It is possible to
host synapse on OpenBSD (I do it), but to be honest it feels rather
cumbersome. Synapse is written in Python and is rather slow.[^1]

There are some other incomplete implementations as well, I think of one
them is written in C++.

Unfortunately the most complete (reference) client is Riot, which—to my
knowledge—can only be used in a browser in OpenBSD. There is also a
weechat script, however.

In general, to me, it doesn't feel like it's prime time for Matrix yet,
but I guess it could work with some better implementations of both
clients and servers. I would love to replace Messenger with it to talk
with my friends (those willing to change). It also has briding
capabilities, for example there is an IRC bridge which I got partially
working (I can receive messages from IRC rooms, but I didn't manage to
send anything yet).

[^1]: On my homeserver I am unable to join to the official #matrix room
hosted at matrix.org, trying seems to overload my server, it becomes
unresponsive.
