Don't get why you're being downvoted... telegram was the first thing that came to mind as an alternative/better solution. Cross platform, dead-simple to setup and it just works.

Telegram lacked video calls. However it was recently added and now I feel comfortable recommending it. Most friends who tried sticked to it.
Some highlights are their lightweight, open-source, blazing-fast client (https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop) and compatibility with all major platforms like Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux.
I'd recommend Signal but it's not as user friendly.

I suspect the downvotes are because everyone knows there are alternatives to iMessage out there. It isn’t relevant to this particular topic.
“All you have to do is convert everyone you’ve ever known to use a different app” is... not the proposition some people think it is. Kudos to anyone that’s pulled it off, but I won’t.

That's just gatekeeping nonsense.
Discussing alternatives are always relevant and popular on HN.
Like talking about macbooks on Thinkpad topics. Everyone knows macbooks exists, it's still fine to talk about them in non-macbook topics.
