I had already made up my mind to nuke WA on Feb 1st, until they pushed back the TOS forced-opt-in to May.
I got 25 ppl to install Signal. ?
I've always made it policy not to reply to clients on Whatsapp, politely redirecting them to calls+email
I curated it strictly as a friends+family space, to prepare for exactly this day.
Be very careful of your 'tools' owning you, rather than becoming one for a megacorp.

Or you can become a tool yourself!
On that note... I discourage WhatsApp messages for one of my businesses. Though recently one person did call me at 9:30 pm for a sort of trivial matter.
Comments
Matrix (matrix-synapse) as server, Element as client (mostly).
SMS and XMPP for those that are not on Matrix yet.
I'm using Discord, Signal, and Zoom mainly. Google Meet, SMS, Snapchat, Instagram, and GroupMe as well.

Telegram most prefer, but I accept WhatsApp and signal too. I and my friends use telegram at the very beginning since it launch.
Action and Reaction in history
I prefer IRC
