So, I was told to not use Signal, so all that is left is Matrix. And I am not techy enough to have my own server and neither are my relatives, so Matrix.org is the only option

Signal is fine to use. These days I mostly recommend Delta Chat though. Delta Chat is free, encrypted, open source, audited, decentralised & federated in the same way as email is as it literally is email, it just looks like a chat, and it will work almost out of the box for anyone who has an email address (which is most people). This includes gmail/icloud/outlook etc. There are also chatmail servers you can sign up on if you’d prefer that.
It is no more complicated to configure than it is to configure any other email client. It has group chats, you can even share applications in the chat such as playing games or collaborate etc, all within the security of knowing your email provider can not read your conversations, whilst you still get the benefit of using the existing infrastructure of email.
Check it out: delta.chat/en/
PS. I’m not affiliated with them in any way. In fact, I have no idea if/how they make money. The service “just works” though.
PPS. They are also present in the Fediverse at @delta
