While we don't promote non-#FOSS apps, we can salute #Brave for setting up their own #FDroid repository for #BraveBrowser. @brave how about a fully FOSS browser in f-droid.org next? 😉

There's nothing "Brave" about this browser. It's a scam run by a homophobe.

Do not promote this bullshit.
@fdroidorg @brave What you're doing in this post is promoting not only a non FOSS app, but one that supports anti LGBT hatespeech & scams. Brave & the company behind it have a long & well known history of hate & running cryptocurrency scams.

Is this generally fine with other fdroid devs?
Continue to promote fascists enabler (just recently Brendan Eich teamed up with Charles Hoskinson a billionaire that promoted Trump and JFK Jr.), and I may just say goodbye.
I kind of assume this is you Licaon_Kter, is it?

dislike... "we don't promote X, but here is a promotion of X" is a bad idea.

I would prefer if it was framed like: "While anybody can create a #Fdroid repository, there is no guarantee that it will contain fully (or even partially!) #FOSS apps. Unfortunately, that is still the situation with #Brave. We appeal to them to make #BraveBrowser fully free software by getting rid of non-free bits, so they can publish on f-droid.org - which guarantees FOSS-only apps"
@fdroidorg are you the same intern from rpi sausage and cop implosion?
@fdroidorg @brave This repo has features you may not like: This app promotes homophobia and cryptocurrency scams.
@fdroidorg @brave perhaps you should have shut your mouth about this turdware?
It's still time for PR damage control.
@fdroidorg
Hey F-Droid, what's a good alternative to F-Droid? One that doesn't duck test for Nazi bar?
@fdroidorg Ah lads come on, you'll be called Fash-droid.
Have you not read up on the state of the person behind that? https://www.independent.ie/business/technology/mozilla-ceo-under-pressure-to-resign-over-homophobic-beliefs/30135706.html
@fdroidorg @brave shame to see you getting rinsed for this. you deserved it unreservedly.
@fdroidorg fuck this web browser made by homophobic cryptobros
@fdroidorg
Have you finally solved your certificate security issues?
@Underfaker Yes, sorry for the short break. Carry on! 😄
@fdroidorg
I'm confused. Checking the related ticket I can See the status is still 'open' and the security problems remain unsolved.
@Underfaker We meant the site certificates issue we had today.
@fdroidorg
Not me. What is the status of the referenced issue?
@fdroidorg @brave quit speaking and never speak again
you are a stain on the foss community for even mentioning brave, we can not and will not salute anyone blatantly opposed to equality and privacy
do something worthwhile rather than promoting garbage

@fdroidorg
👍Thanks. Despite all the hate, I cannot say anything negative about #BraveBrowser, it is my Chromium-based browser of choice.

@fdroidorg @brave how about a FOSS browser that doesn't promote AI and Crypto BS while also being run by awful people?

@fdroidorg @brave Yeah... You should really reconsider promoting Brave of all things.
It's all flavours of yikes combined into one.
@fdroidorg @brave every act is a political act. even failure to act is saying you are okay with this project and everything it stands for: homophobia, ai slop.
There is no neutrality. you are making a political statement, whether you meant to or not. is it one you are comfortable with?
@fdroidorg @brave This is a really shit take, Brave is a scam. Brendan Eich is a tool.
@fdroidorg @brave we are saluting homophobes now??
@fdroidorg Come on F-Droid, do better. Don't promote software repos made by horrible, homophobic people.
@fdroidorg @brave You're saluting the cryptobro reactionaries? For what?! Would you say your "heart goes out to them"?
@fdroidorg More custom F-Droid repositories are great, but I wouldn't go so far as to saluting Brave considering their track record. You took a stance against Gab in the past, please show some moral dignity now too.
(This page is a good summary of some of the issues with Brave: https://www.spacebar.news/stop-using-brave-browser/)
@fdroidorg Drop the salute. Y'all fucked up with the move.
@fdroidorg Please tell me this account isn't the actual maintainers, a hard fork on F-droid would be a headache for everyone.
@fdroidorg @brave you do not in fact "gotta hand it to them"
@fdroidorg yeah, not the company I love to see you advertise for :/
@fdroidorg @brave - what parts are non-FOSS in Brave? The crypto-wallet stuff? And/or something else. I've been liking Cromite myself recently as far as Android browsers go, but Brave seems to be the only Android browser that strongly resists fingerprinting.
@fdroidorg @brave oh its the homophobic shitcoin browser
@fdroidorg Cryptocurrency scam run by a notorious homophobe, maybe let's not!
@fdroidorg @brave congrats for the repo.
Fuck off for the homophobic bastard and for the cryptocurrency. Even if it was FOSS, promoting products of those kind of people is not ethical. We want free software but we also want our software to be free from hate speech and scams which boils our planet. 👍
