I really dig Signal‘s new long-sleeves. Depending what aspect of FOSS you like this might be something for you: https://shop.signal.org/
The problem with signal (which I love and use) is that sadly they could really f_ck up with a simple decision and sell out. That's the issue with such centralized companies.
Yeah, that's a possibility. However, as some Mastodon folks said recently, no platform is forever. Signal's prospects seem reasonable to me, right now. If they co corporate and enshittify next week, I won't feel my time and investment with them was a waste, nor my financial support (which hasn't been much, tbh).
