I've seen many threads suggesting products but they often don't mention FOSS projects, which should always be preferred to corporate software. With FOSS you are already boycotting capitalism, on either side. Free and Open Source ignores borders and shouldn't be categorized in nationalist terms, no matter where some of the maintainers happen to live.

Or the classic "guys I am leaving WhatsApp, moved my whole family to Signal, another centralized US-based silo that requires phone numbers and runs on AWS, CloudFlare, etc."

Thanks for sticking it to the Signal shills, I use Telegram and I understand how bad it is but I'd never use signal in a million years

“Hey guys, I want to leave WhatsApp, should I go to Telegram or Signal?"

-- you guys are NOT helping, that's still exactly the same problem. Just stay away from anything that isn't open source, decentralized, self-hostable, e2e encrypted (without rolling their own crypto). That basically leaves only Matrix or XMPP.
