Is there any actual easy to use foss chat app my friends and SO could use ? Everyone uses fb messenger because its so easy. I cant find anything easy enough to make people switch to, that won’t have issues and send them running back to zucc

There is a new chat app called session. Me and my friend migrated from signal to it due to the better privacy. Check it out. It’s basically just libre messanger.
check out https://soatok.blog/2025/01/14/dont-use-session-signal-fork/ and https://soatok.blog/2025/01/20/session-round-2/ . session doesn’t even have PFS(perfect forward secrecy), whichbcan be very useful, sonfi a key is cracked, then only a few messages can be decrypted.
I would also use Signal instead, but Session’s situation is not that bad unless one needs to accommodate the CIA or Mossad as part of their threat model, in which case I think SimpleX would be a better option. This is also in the article you posted:
Edit: I didn’t notice that the original commenter had said they “switched from Signal” at first, which is definitely worse.
