It’s harder for non Western to have a proper community here.
Even existing Asian community like Japanese are pretty much isolated due to cultural differences.
There’s plenty of FOSS enthusiast from non-Western community that still uses Meta products.
Even Facebook Linux and FOSS groups often filled with Eastern European, SEAn, East Asian, and African.
I can’t take anyone seriously who claims to be/promote foss and then uses IG.
