#UnifiedPush is on everybody's lips when it comes to #decentralization or #deGoogle or wanting to cut off #BigTech from your live.
But did you know how it was started? How many times its destiny intersected with #FDroid ?

@fdroidorg I am not sure if I will ever get why anybody may want notifications? Intentional distractions every few seconds? Who needs that? What is the use case? I mean, I am generally glad that google alternatives exist, but its a double sided sword if the push notification informs me about a special offer, right?
@SkuLd Your friend has a message for you, you want to receive that now or Tuesday? Your favourite #PeerTube artist has a new song out, you want to listen today or in March? Just because *others* abused notifications it does not mean that good #FLOSS apps don't need it. Yes, exert your control, as expected.
@fdroidorg Using UnifiedPush with my Nextcloud as a distributor feels like the ultimate digital independency! Thank you for the awesome work ❤️
@fdroidorg thanks so much for the wonderful work. Been using it for 3 years and I am so happy we have a FLOSS appstore thanks to your work.
The future looks brighter when I remember that so much good work is ongoing
