The no algorithm part is pretty neat. Don't know if you are referring to the Nextcloud News app. If that's the case, it's free on the f-droid app store.

Also big fan of IRC. It has some of the same advantages as XMPP, and then some for group chat.

Agree it's easier to get techies on board. With normal people it is kind of a struggle competing and argumenting against the likes of WhatsApp, FB messenger and such. But I totally think it's worth it because privacy.

We use Teams and friends at work, so I know the struggle.

I used Read You from f-droid app-store and was happy with it. No commercials and FOSS. Switched to Nextcloud News for centralized RSS feeds from my Nextcloud.

Used Joplin and was quite OK. But ended up going back to nvim markdown and third party sync. More generic and works everywhere.
