Matrix should be first choice over Telegram and Discord communities!
Also, Simplex before Signal
A mention of Qubes in section 11 would be nice although appreciate it could be out of scope of a first steps guide
It's so hard to migrate people ... network effects
Took me a while but now almost all my pals using signal. If I come with Simplex which looks "weird" with no number phone, going to be even harder

I had the exact same problem (migrating everyone to Signal, now a new app that isn't such a nice UX)
Moving away from having dependence on a phone number is really important though
Don't give up :-)

Unfortunately Matrix has many issues with usability that still prevent it from being a go-to for many communities, but I definitely agree (and host my communities on Matrix despite the issues).
Definitely more of personal preference there now, amazed at how far SimpleX has come! It's actually a legitimate Signal contender in my book now.

what are the Matrix issues you face? We use it as a Teams alternative in our organisation and it works great
Mind you, that's mostly with internal users on our hosted instance
Simplex is amazing!

I love SimpleX, but it's still missing desktop client.

I don't agree, I think it should be Briar for anything that doesn't require more than sharing text or images.
I've heard some concearning things about Matrix but take me with a grain of salt
