Currently no, but protocols and things are being worked on including one by the PixelFed creator called Sup!. Maybe one day we will have a good messaging system between the fediverse.
The easiest thing to use what isnβt decentralised but is secure would be Signal for the moment. Especially as they rolled out usernames instead of using your phone number
Oh yeah I've been on signal for ages now. Relatively easy to get people on that though because the UI is so familiar
Easier to get fediverse users on there over everyone else from what Iβve found. People can be stubborn
I've had basically no resistance with signal. The selling point being WhatsApp but without Facebook spying tends to work fairly well
Nobody wants to be spied on, the only issue is most people also can't be bothered to learn a new app
