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.

I'm the most anti-American user on here and I agree.

I'd rather use USA-linked free software than Spotify.

I think that's the point, he's saying he'd rather use USA-linked FOSS than non-USA proprietary software.
