Framasoft is conducting a funding campaign to help develop the mobile app for Peertube. The app is already in F-Droid, it will help develop new features. The funding campaign is almost at the end unfortunately, but I think it’s still good to report it.

The Swiss weekly newspaper WOZ published an article about alternatives to big tech, including F-Droid, KDE, and the fediverse:

F-Droid is also resilient to censorship attempts. In China or Iran, for example, access to the Internet is limited: governments control which websites are available. F-Droid is designed to download apps from different servers and share with users nearby. This makes it more difficult for governments to block content.

Perhaps good idea to mention F-Droid active mirrors F-Droid / mirror-monitor · GitLab that includes onion mirrors and mention Running a Mirror | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

We can mention it. I agree on Non-Foss, but we do have a lot of users who do use it.

On second thoughts, I agree. I too am hesitant to suggest.

I’m fine either way, but if Izzy’s or Cromite’s repositories are “advertised”, then what is the difference with Brave’s?

Summary

Not sure where we advertise 3rd party repos that we don’t control.

The Known repos forum topic is a public space for the community. It’s different.
