I still have an iPhone for now (am waiting for mobile Linux to become just a little more mature) but I’ve turned off iMessage. When I get asked about how I can be reached by IM I tell people they can find me on Signal. Been doing this for about two years and now ~80% of my personal conversations are over Signal. And most of these friends are not very technical. I love my little successful rebellion against the walled garden. And it will make my eventual transition away from iOS much easier. Just a somewhat related personal anecdote, sorry to deviate a bit from topic. EDIT: Yes, Signal is centralized and I would have loved to use Matrix. But the clients are bad. Email me if you want to build a better one
