I don't want WhatsApp & I avoid the 'stores, so it's F-Droid options for me...

Any opinions on Jami?

I'm also seeing XMPP mentioned in the comments, so I might look at that a bit more...

Saving you the bother, Signal is good, but requires phone number and the desktop client sucks, while the generally recommended federated FOSS things are all over-engineered and morally obsolete. One can't rework XMPP into a modern standard, and it's complex. Actually Signal's authors have published a couple of articles explaining their choices in making it.

I found SimpleX Chat to be a fairly decent alternative without phone numbers.
