Matrix and Threema come to my mind.

Do people have success bringing their families and friends to Matrix? The Signal UI is closer to Whatsapp, which usually made the switch easier

Just gotta get rid of all your friends and family and then you can use any IM service. Very convenient.

I hear the latency is hard to beat too if you only talk to yourself.

I have brought my family to Threema and Signal (when Corona started). But Matrix would not work for them I fear.

I love the idea of Threema, but the reason I love it is also precisely why it's an extremely hard sell for casuals. Self-management of keys.

It's also not open source. Sure, the clients are, but the back-end isn't, and that arguably the most important piece.
