There might be some changes that could improve it further:

Remove Brave
Maybe add Signal; It's easier than Element, but it's also centralized
Stop suggesting Linux Mint specifically
Recommend Hosted Nextcloud
Add GrapheneOS
Maybe add Delta chat
Maybe remove Bluesky
Remove Stremio and add Jellfyin (even though it's selfhosted and not a direct equivalent)
Add ente because Immich is selfhosted

Any other suggestions?

OP, quite a few of these are still American, some open source, some not. It's more like a generic list of alternatives to mainstream.

Saying “this FOSS is American” is a little like saying “any wheat in a meal makes it Egyptian because that’s where wheat comes from.” FOSS doesn’t have borders, because it can be used, forked, and modified by anyone. Even if an American created it, as soon as it becomes FOSS, it is a worldwide project.
