Most of the alternatives mentioned have such low adoption that they aren’t truly viable options yet - no matter how much we wish otherwise.
And I say that not as a critic - I actually use Matrix, XMPP, and Jitsi myself. But guess how many of my friends, family, or colleagues are on them?
Exactly.
That’s why I recommend Signal. At least there, people are likely to find folks they already know.
