Didn't swiftpad or whatever its called send every key pressed to Microsoft?

Not a China shill. China is horrible. Microsoft less so as they don't commit genocide in slow motion. But still, I think this sort of thing is more common than we think.

Use FOSS.

What are the best FOSS options for Android keyboard apps? I've been struggling with this lately.

I use OpenBoard (it's available on fDroid. Maybe the play store too).

I don't know if it's the best but I like it. If you type in multiple languages you do need to hit a "language switcher" key on the keyboard to switch to the autocorrect for that language. A very minor complaint. Otherwise it's great.

And it will learn swear words. No more ducking ducks.
