Insular seems similar to shelter, also on f-droid.

Android is not developed by Google. It’s open source but Google adds a lot of stuff on top. There are ways to minimise what apps can spy on you: gboard, keep notes, calendar, calculator, gmail - all can be swapped for better and more privacy respecting apps from F-droid. You can also disable Google and other system (vendor) apps through adb. Some OSs if you don’t want to do that are Lineage OS and Calyx OS.
Infinity for Reddit and Nitter/Squawker for twitter still work though
So basically, they are fined nothing (100k is less than a millionth of Meta’s net worth)
really necessary?
no but there are some settings in about:config you might want to change
this is a good video (easier to follow if you are on linux) that shows installation of a profile with all the settings already in it
One of the best is Iceland
There isn’t really an alternetive launcher but you could download a firewall app like NetGuard and block every connection exept g.whatsapp.net
But it doesn’t matter what you put on the canvas - the point is that you are driving up engagement and that’s exactly what Reddit wants
If you don’t want to use Signal, use a forked version of it - Session (doesn’t require a phone number, only has a code number as id) or SimpleX Chat (not even a code number, completely private)
No, but Jerboa is also AGPL-licensed, Thunder is under MIT and Liftoff under GPL

The best way to protest is to not participate
It is open source but you can’t publish modified code (this is to ensure there will be no malicious forks like there was with newpipe)
plus you missed the entire point:
It’s an app that allows you to watch the same creators across many platforms
