We need to convince other people to use XMPP.

The no encryption is no longer an issue, most clients implement OMEMO.

There's no reason to leave your love ones and acquaintances under the influence of Mark Zuckerberg or any other centralised instant-messaging platform that lives on rage, POLARISATION and division.

Not in 2025. The platform is now mature. Servers are easy to run, encryption works, there are multiple clients for every platform.

Once you teach them how to use them, block them on Whatsapp so they have to reach you through XMPP.
