I always recommend GNU Jami.
as for reasons, it respects our freedom and privacy, it runs on most operating systems for desktops and mobiles, and it doesn't depend on any proprietary infrastructure that could exploit us, censor us, or otherwise snoop on us and be enshittified? thanks but no thanks, I don't wish to get Zuck (or anyone else) involved in our private conversations. as says a friend of mine, why should I go along with your platform of (poor) choice, that would screw us both, but you can't go alone with my platform of choice, that would keep us from being controlled and screwed with. besides, your platform of choice would require me to carry a tracking device.
that's how I generally respond

I miss the days when the web was for sharing rather than for consuming and controlling.
I miss the days when it was common sense to avoid running code downloaded from strangers. now we have javascrippled websites that won't work unless you betray yourself and common sense
I miss the days when we could automate mechanical/boring web tasks, when remote bots would not refuse to share information with our bots just because we're using bots. now they insist in only talking to humans, turning us into their servants instead of serving us

no free software distro can do that. users control free software.
maybe what you're trying to say is that you don't like distros that don't offer convenience for you to shoot yourself in the feet. that presumed feeling of yours sounds plausible to me, it fits with what you've written. but it's a matter of convenience, not of freedom.

Wheee, tonight I'm flying out to the US to speak about software enshittification and how to fight it at LibrePlanet @fsf

when you celebrate you can decide whether or not to install a certain blob that claims to fix a bug, and that this is some freedom, you appear to be missing that the supplier is denying you the freedom you should also have to see what other changes the blob would bring onto your computer, and to decide which of them you want and which of them you don't, and to improve on them, and to help others. you're celebrating the crumbs thrown at you so that you'll leave the bigger piece of the pie to those who control you.

trusting that the blob suppliers have your best interest in mind when they push updates, instead of aiming to expand their power and profits through the control over you that you grant them, is naïve at best

> the goal of software freedom

stop right there, there's a misconception

software freedom is the goal

free software is the means to that goal

but if it takes accepting nonfree software to run free software, that's not achieving the goal, that's giving up software freedom, because that nonfree software takes your freedom away

from the perspective of someone else who runs both that nonfree software and some other piece of nonfree software, replacing one of them with free software is a step towards software freedom, but does not achieve the goal of software freedom
