Even if Telegram has a Libre implementation, it still relies on
centralized servers operated by a private entity hoping to make profit.
For this kind of use case, I strongly urge to rather use something that
enables you to run your own servers.

The obvious answer for this is XMPP, aka Jabber. Installing a server on
Debian is very easy with the prosody package. 

The Matrix project is supposed to be some kind of successor and
extension. In theory it looks very promising: syncing conversations
between devices and other interesting features. But last summer I tried
installing a server with the packages in Testing and it just did not
work, some kind of --generate-keys option was silently ignored and then
the server refused to start for lack of keys, so I did not experiment
further, but I intend to.
