I don't even know what to think about #keepandroidopen:
The website doesn't have a word about #grapheneos, #obtainium, or #accrescent yet lists every possible insecure device and rom, and presents #fdroid (with well-known serious security issues of its own) as if it were the only option for installing apps?
Either the people behind the website are woefully unqualified to make recommendations or they have an agenda not much more in the interest of users than Google's.
@kylebronsdon Every project has an agenda. #FDroid's agenda is about Keeping Android Open, for everyone, not only our or your favorite project.
While we both have the privilege of running a distro that cares about our freedom, we march for the rest of the users, the 3.9 billion ones that are not here in our (tech and social) bubble. For our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, and more, that will not be able to install the same privacy respecting, secure software, just because #Google said so.
@fdroidorg Is the website I was solely addressing in my post maintained or hosted by the F-Droid project or team members?
@kylebronsdon Yes @marcprux is an F-Droid board member, please follow the Github link for further info.
/PS: Board members recommendations might open soon, if you want to make F-Droid better, there's your chance. 😉
@fdroidorg @marcprux Thank you, it is not at all evident from the website.
I'm sure you can see how this direct connection to the F-Droid org along with the information as presented on the site could be perceived as a conflict of interest.
I share the very serious concerns expressed by #keepandroidopen, hence the criticism specific to the associated website in my initial post. Android users deserve to be informed of either a symmetrically curated short list or all viable alternatives.
