Does anyone know if the platform Riot is safe? If it is not then what can I use to communicate with friends?

No communication is "safe." If you're planning something mischievous then exchange coded physical letters. In terms of just friendly/edgy chat I don't know but it's probably better than Discord.

It would be all for friendly and edgy conversation. I just don't want to get in trouble for thought crime.

Why? Is it as bad as discord where they openly work with the ADL or something?

Not using discord' servers is a blessing, but my point was that no traffic is safe if it's using a hostile road.
Perhaps blending with the background noise is the answer OP is looking, I mean stealth.

I am OP. I'm not looking for stealth. I just don't want some journo or HR cunt to find out that I'm a shitposter.

Don't use WhatsApp/DickSword/Faceberg/Twatter/etc. I don't know if Riot is secure/private or not. I recommend using Signal https://www.signal.org/ and emails that have been encrypted with GnuPG https://gnupg.org/ or https://gpg4win.org/ if you use windows (you can also use MSYS2 or Cygwin to get the cli version of GnuPG on windows) Just to clarify the terminology, GnuPG (aka GPG) is an implementation of PGP https://ssd.eff.org/en/glossary/pgp
For more info on how to use enigmail, see https://ssd.eff.org/en/module/how-use-pgp-windows and https://ssd.eff.org/en/module/how-use-pgp-linux
Do not trust the webmail to encrypt your messages. Generate your own encryption keys and encrypt your messages on your computer and copy-paste it on the webmail or use a email client (e.g. Thunderbird + enigmail or Mutt). Also, if you send images/files, make sure to delete the metadata before you post it (encrypt it, too)

Physically control the server you connect to Riot, use encryption and it's peak opsec.
