So is there a true open source chat program that requires no account (so full anonymity) and has good encryption for privacy?

XMPP with encryption extensions (OMEMO) You can easily host a server yourself, no big tech. It's light weight. Open standard so lots of client to pick from, no lockin. Supports sending pictures, videos if you want.

DeltaChat and ArcaneChat (Fork) According to the DC devs, it's dirt cheap to run Chatmail servers :)

I think SimpleX is the only one that fits that. Sadly, the developers started crypto NFTish integrations last year. It is still too early to see if their use of it will end up being good or a slippery slope into crypto scams.
