take a look at #Simplex Chat simplex.chat for a different experience.
i have simplex, element, briar and even rattlegram.
with messengers "a different experience" is interesting (for me) but if the people i'm communicating with are not sharing those "experiences", what good do they bring? Am i going to chat with myself?
Getting people to use Signal instead of WhatsApp was a challenge already. Now almost all my contacts are on Signal.
How am i going to get people to use any of these apps considering that Signal has no shortfalls (like belonging to Facebook and spying on you)?
