I use the apps my friends use but it gets tiring to keep up with so many.

Just stop using the spyware ones?

That leaves you with element, signal and telegram?

Telegram and signal are both central points of failure. Signal can be used with other servers, but the server address is hard coded in the app, so you have to deploy your own app. Matrix servers can keep a channel going even if the channel's home server goes down. The more home servers there are, the more mirrors of public channels there will be.
