i've just seen a comment in a post, in this very community, saying people trust signal because of missinformation (from what i could undertand).

if this is true, then i have a few questions:

-what menssaging app should i use for secure communications? i need an app that balances simplicity and security.

-how to explain it to my friends who use signal because i recomended?

-what this means for other apps in general?

Yes, i hate this in these kinds of discussions. It so often devolves into how you'll be safe from surveillance by world governments (spoiler: you won't be, if they really care).

And here I am, just not wanting to hand data over to giant corporations that have been proven to use it for no good.

Heck, even if there was no good actor/solution, not giving all your data to the same bad actor is already a step up.
