To be clear: I prefer to pay for things instead of having to see ads but 13€ / month!? For a meta product that has inherently user-hostile design patterns even without ads?...
I’m pretty sure he means other people at his uni use instagram and the likes. Signal/Simplex/etc. is great, but at the end of the day, sometimes you don’t have a choice and must use what everybody else is using.
It’s not because everybody should be using these apps that they will. If you have a group project and people want to communicate on messenger, that’s what you are gonna do. Not doing so would make you insufferable and no one would want to work with someone that imposes his choices on the group.
You could use debian testing. It’s a somewhat “rolling-release” model. You will get more up to date packages with more stability too.
You could also use unstable, but I wouldn’t recommend it personally.
Edit: if you really need the most up to date version of some packages, you can pin them to use the unstable repo. This would be a pretty reasonable solution.
