On one side FUTO promotes good software, but at the same time they finance projects lead or harboring openly fascist people, or fash apologists at “best”.

From their grants page:
- Ladybird,
- Hyprland,
- Suckless
are known to me as such.

Grants - FUTO

FUTO funds open source projects and people working to challenge the tech oligopoly. Learn about our legendary grants and microgrants.

@dzwiedziu You see, I recently came across this and thus wanted to get other people's thoughts on the company. https://drewdevault.com/2025/10/22/2025-10-22-Whats-up-with-FUTO.html

Oh great, it's worse!…

@dzwiedziu Do you think I should just ditch FUTO Keyboard? There's no other good alternative to Gboard than FUTO currently....

I guess the question is, do you trust it to be private? If so, you don't have to support the organization. At the moment, I do use it as no other keyboard has fit my use case and actually been decently functional. I haven't tried ASK in a while though, maybe I should give it another go.
