Right. I've heard that there are even several backdoors for govs in it. But baby steps. It's better than WhatsApp at least.

One must consider that Signal does not spread among the masses through the argument of 'security' alone (nobody cares about security and privacy tbh). Rather, it spreads through 'looks and works like WhatsApp, but is safer'.

Which decentralized chat service is usable enough for my family and non-techie friends to use?
