I may be misunderstanding something or don’t have the right version. Currently, if I download the F-Droid app and search Bible, nothing shows up unless I go to the settings and enable the NSFW filter. I guess I would not call this searchable by default.
I’m sorry, I may be mistaken here too, but the original merge request only included Bible apps. There was discussion about Koran apps as well, but the decision was made to address that leader, and it was unclear if the Koran apps reached the F”-Droid bar” (whatever that may be) for the NSFW filter.
Yes, I think changing the title could improve the situation somewhat.
That screenshot of the army of bible apps is priceless. We should go ahead an make dozens of apps for every book tha’s out there and add all of that to F-Droid. That would not damage the reputation of a software curator whose whole security model is based on volunteers auditing its collection, oh no the NSFW tag will.
-Ok Alice today’s codebase to sift through for potential malware is bible app number 666.
-Another bible app? When are we going to get to that new email encryption one, Bob?
-When god no longer forbids, Alice, when god no longer forbids…
It’s rather unconscionable this was ever approved and frankly disqualifying for a maintainer. It fails to meet the plain meaning of “NSFW”; it is completely opposite of “Promot[ing] ■■■■ and violence”; and the technical definition of essentially things users might be ashamed of using is both a terrible definition and still completely inapplicable here. This seems unjustifiable for any reason but bigotry.
All. Why are we flaming both here and on Gitlab? This is a tag, and it is understandable that it needs looking into, which is what is happening already. Flaming and bad naming F-Droid or anyone else, and pulling different aspects without knowing what and how things happen is just causing wrong sentiments being rocked.
F-Droid is run by volunteers and everyone does more than their best to get things done. All of us should cooperate and put the points in a way it helps, and not makes others flame up too.
If this was some proprietary application, they will not even bother to revert. F-Droid being individuals and volunteers as such, does more than that.
I am not here to advocate, but requesting others to be calm and take a constructive approach for this. There is no need to make things run in a different road.
