If Signal was federated anyone could write a signal client to openBSD or Alpine Linux.

Vendor lock in. I will not touch any IM services that is not completly open (client and server) and federated. I am looking for matrix.org that uses Olm [1] for E2E encryption.

What I am worried about is that Facebook/Google/Microsoft/Amazon/Apple are copying the same model [1]. These companies are killing the open web.

Borating | 9 years ago | on: Facebook disabling messaging in its mobile web app to push people to Messenger
The only reason why Facebook has as much power as it does is because of user lock-in, but that use lock-in is only strong because no one fights it actively.
Therefore, I started evangelising from WhatsApp to Telegram
Telegram is also a close silo. Tell your friend to use programs that use an open protocol like XMPP [1].
