Our principles are fairly straightforward: the world should not be run on money, should be rooted in solidarity, community, mutual help, equal rights and freedom, and social justice.

That's not "Europe slowly moving off US software". Projects like these exist to protect against European state repression, as they exist to protect against any state repression, period. I'd also bet, that their thinking wasn't "we need a European alternative, so the USA can't spy on us". So yes, it's great, there are other projects similar to this one in other countries, as well, but your take doesn't make much sense.
