I don’t use apps like whatsapp or skype because they sell my data and don’t trust them.
I was hoping for a foss alternative to talk to my parents, regular folk who need something easy to set up on their android devices, ideally through fdroid.
I don’t want to reveal a real phone number because I don’t want ads from nobody.
I don’t need to see my parent’s faces, I just need to talk to them and maybe send files and lines of text.
Conversations works for my parents and me.

Wild, without specifying, I had to check whether this was an app. I thought you were just being snarky at first! This is such a great but terrible name for a messaging app
Thanks for the feedback, I added a link to my answer. 😃
