Signal is good for normie friends, and family but for my schizo privacy junkie online friends I use SimpleX. Rarely do I use signal with people from the interwebs unless I've met them IRL already.

Main pro of signal is that it's normie friendly, has a good UI, has a notable user base already, and has optional discoverability, and optional privacy. I like SimpleX a lot but it's got a high learning curve, a UX that is still early, and otherwise just isn't convenient for people you know IRL. Might do it with privacy people but I feel like signal is the winner even if simplex in theory has better opsec.
