Signal

You can "self-host" Signal!?

Haven't tried it, but it seems so: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server

You probably have to rebuild the clients though to have it use a custom server.

Delta-chat? Email based.

It’s not self hosted but would Bitchat fit the bill?

(Can you make chats that aren’t geographical?)

Just use Signal, it spun out of OTR anyway - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-the-record_messaging
