with all the choices I have, I don't really know what to choose, there is Matrix, Signal, Briar, Jami, and alot of other privacy focused messenger app that I haven't even heard of.

need to discuss things with people on the internet, mostly people who already knows privacy stuff.

I need to choose one that's the most popular one to avoid having people making accounts, what's the most commonly used (private) messenger app?

With delta chat you already have an account: your email!

It has some hiccups, but overall I love it.

I never heard of it, is it popular?

It is very used by cubans due to the low network impact and default encryption not provided nor by the main mail server there.

I also use it with my family and several friends.

Delta Chat devs plan to create a standard for using email infrastructure for IM too. More info in https://delta.chat
