Is there any actual easy to use foss chat app my friends and SO could use ? Everyone uses fb messenger because its so easy. I cant find anything easy enough to make people switch to, that won't have issues and send them running back to zucc

check out https://soatok.blog/2025/01/14/dont-use-session-signal-fork/ and https://soatok.blog/2025/01/20/session-round-2/ . session doesn't even have PFS(perfect forward secrecy), which can be very useful, so if a key is cracked, then only a few messages can be decrypted. EDIT: that was a lot of typos!

I like XMPP, but there's also LXMF(a bit more experimental, only for 'advanced' users) or simply signal or simplex.
