I know that Signal is the normie tier "privacy" app, but it's a nonstarter for me because it requires a phone number. I've been using SimpleX, but for some reason my messages are taking forever to get through. I think it's an issue with their servers. Regardless, I need a privacy oriented app that actually works. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Has the XMPP servers and clients improved in such way that they are more normie friendly now? or they are still more for technical users?
Prosody server is a hell of a lot easier to set up now than it and other XMPP servers used to be. It's far from normie friendly though. I don't believe it runs on Windows at all. I guess you could run it in WSL on Windows, but that's still very technical.
Clients aren't all that bad. I really only use Conversations on Android though. It's not much different than texting.
