That has the same fundamental problems, with a smaller network (fewer people use it). If you’re looking for something which will never have those issues, I’d recommend anything on XMPP. Yax, for example, will let you chat with anyone on the xmpp protocol (like conversations, profanity, et c. et c.). It’ll never disappear, and if some problem arises, you can just change the client and keep your account and contacts (basically it’s e-mail but for IMs).

Molly is just a security focused fully FOSS 3rd party client.
From their site:
It’s Signal, with fewer users.
It’s another client, not another network. And they have a FOSS version that’s even aviable on F-Droid.
