Signal is super user friendly. All my normie friends use it. Not super in the spirit of foss as it's not meant to be self hosted—which imo makes the server practically proprietary/source available. (ik people self host it anyway, but it's not supported and Signal don't like people self hosting or even making custom clients.) SimpleX is good too but not as polished as Signal.
