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?

I've had a matrix account there before, I'm asking if there's an instance I could join because I'm aware that using matrix.org would probably not be the best idea since the whole point of it is to be decentralized, and metadata and identity is collected there.

I found this instance though https://chat.tchncs.de/

for now I'll use that instead, maybe I'll run a matrix server in the future for people to use.
