in reply to The New Oil • • •Signal, Threema, Telegram and Wire are centralised, closed systems, which I'm not fond of and wouldn't consider.
Element and SimpleX are alternatives, indeed. However, I'm already on #Jabber #XMPP since ≈2014 and forced all my friends and family to use it 🤷

I set up a Snikket instance. I'm the dev, so I had to make it first! But it's open-source, you can self-host or use the hosted service.
After that, you generate a multi-use invitation link in the dashboard and send it out (I used email, but it's just a link you can send over SMS/etc.).
I converted 10 family members remotely during lockdown with great success (we still use it today).
