Yup, to Fediverse, this server, Calyx fondation and Signal
Naaaa I'm not going to fund an Android ROM that has inherit and exploitable security vulnerabilities (read on hardware support requirements of the GrapheneOS project and you'll understand) nor a messaging App that was probably first funded by the NSA and we never know.
I would rather fund someone looking to make a single good cross-platform XMPP native client (iOS, Android, Windows and macOS) with push notifications that actually work and video - not the garbage we've today.
So are you? Because if you are just sitting around and waiting for someone out there to make a product by your own perfect standards, than its equal to doing nothing. Compared to doing nothing, supporting Calyx and/or Signal is infinitely better.
I used to be a mod on /r/StarTrek and everytime we did a fundraiser it was inevitably met with criticisms of some kind. I would usually respond with "That sounds like a great cause too, why don't you post the receipt (we encouraged users to share recepits) for that instead?" and never once saw it.
