Sure, I use Signal with some. But I will have to use WhatsApp to interact with most people. They won’t switch just because I tell them to.
Comment on Whatsapp is going to run terribly...

Don’t use WhatsApp or Telegram. There are better things to use. (Signal, Session and simplex chat)

Luckily they don’t have to switch. Your good friends from the European union have a solution for you (And the latest beta for whatsapp features the skeleton for their implementation of that standard)

All hail the European union

Wire…?

Wire has pretty much proven it’ll never gain traction.

Man, messaging is a nightmare. I use signal with a few of my closest contacts, whatsapp with most other people, sms as a fallback and for work I have to occasionally use Teams and fucking Viber (ugh). At least I managed to liberate myself from the clutches of Slack.
If only there was some standard way to get these apps to talk to each other so everybody could use what they want. Oh wait, there was, it was called XMPP, it worked perfectly and big tech fucking killed it and replaced it with the irritating clusterfuck that is the current status quo.

Matrix with Bridges does help a lot, though. Alternatively Beeper. (Which is Matrix with Bridges)

This is pretty much the only thing stopping me from using another app

Then get them on a different app. Be a leader not a follower

Imagine being required to have the same app as your friend to send a message.
