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? 😉

@fdroidorg@floss.social @brave@mastodon.social salute Brave? Like, doing the nazi salute?
@witix Why necropost though? 🤔
@fdroidorg anyway, @brave do not really work smoothly without Google Services
@fdroidorg why can't I find brave on the market than?
@fdroidorg "We don't promote non-FOSS apps", said F-Droid, while promoting a non-FOSS app
@fdroidorg Somewhat surprised to see that this is still up. Did the feedback not give you guys any food for thought?
@fdroidorg
Brave ?
As in "made-by-a-nazi" brave browser ?
As in "crypto-enthusiast" browser ?
As in "not floss but still near enough look at google-android what could go wrong" browser ?
As in "we receive help and fund from facebook but privacy is our priority" browser ?

Hey @fdroidorg, there's a very vocal peanut gallery here who cannot and will not understand strategic cooperation.
They've been mindflayed by DataFarms to the point where anything that does not perfectly fit their morality, on all counts, at all times, is the enemy. They would cancel their own Grandma for sending them a Hallmark card on their birthday, because 'promoting evil corporation'.
EDIT: typo (missing word)
@strypey if you would like to know why lgbtq+ people oppose strategic cooperation, i suggest you open a history book and look at any of the times it has been tried

You can say that about absolutely anything. If you're making a case for something, as opposed to just editorialising for the sake of it, you need to be more specific. Then you need to be a *lot* more specific. See the posts I just made about polycrisis.
@strypey japan strategically collaborated with the nazis in WWII with promises of extra territory, ended the war with half the territory they started with. log cabin republicans strategically collaborated with mainstream conservatives, got thrown under the bus. radical feminists collaborated with transphobes to "keep men out of women's spaces", who then didn't care that imane kheif was cis. LGB alliance also collaborated with mainstream conservaitves to get rid of those filthy transes, guess what happened next. how many more examples do you want?

Firstly, that's some through cherry-picking. Of course, I can produce a laundry list of country-examples twice as long, and I'm happy to demonstrate if that's the game you want to play.
But my point was not that strategic cooperation always works, quite the opposite. So to say anything meaningful about it requires looking at the specific conditions that determine which kinds work, and which don't, and why. I'm not seeing anything like that from you so far.

Because they don't understand strategic cooperation, they're useless at organising or creating anything. But they do have a knack for trying to dogpile and destroy anything that doesn't conform to their authoritarian morality.
They're very loud, but fortunately they're also completely ineffective. As FSF, FediLab, GIMP, and many other Free Code projects have found, if you do not feed the concern trolls, they eventually find a new shiny thing to hate on.

@strypey
Mere minutes before these posts, you made another post where you questioned if Firefox was still salvageable, or if it was too enshittified.
Mere minutes before these posts, you made another post where you questioned if Firefox was still salvageable, or if it was too enshittified.
So it feels like you are taking issue with something you just did yourself, only a few minutes before?
Maybe I don't understand? Maybe, you think your complaints are somehow more valid? Or is it to do with the volume of the complaints?
@jesse @strypey Yeah, um Firefox now has an "anonymized" ad tracking system...... like Brave. If the issue is "broken governance" then what is great about Brave's governance? Why has Brave's also low adoption rate somehow been the fault of Mozilla? (Bizarro...)
If you take the crap out of Firefox, you have something like Librewolf or other fine browser. If you take the crap out of Brave, you have Chromium with an ad blocker. However, the Chrome/Chromium model is inferior because it doesn't have FPI https://www.reddit.com/r/brave_browser/comments/egq95n/is_there_a_similar_feature_to_firstparty/ .... silo-ing 3rd part content to maintain privacy is against the financial interests of both Google and Brave Inc.
@fdroidorg @brave I can't, fdroid spine-bending contest 😭
@fdroidorg @brave Interesting, but consider the following:
@fdroidorg I am rather confident in saying that "saluting" them and linking their site constitutes a promotion. What was the rationale behind this post?
@fdroidorg @brave So how long have you been Nazis?
@fdroidorg @brave holy fuck, giving free advertisement to brave???? you should fucking know better. theyre fascist scum that want trans people like me shot dead
@fdroidorg @brave
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.
@fdroidorg
Who posted this?
Who posted this?
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?
@fdroidorg
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 @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.
