In case you missed it: Accrescent is now mirrored in the GrapheneOS App Store! This helps GrapheneOS users securely and easily obtain Accrescent from a trusted source.
GrapheneOS highly values privacy and security as we do, so we're excited about this collaboration.

Today I opened the App Store on my GrapheneOS to see, that Accrescent is now mirrored in it.
This unlikely to be the reason for me to change OS, as GrapheneOS is still amazing, but devs rhetoric and actions become more and more concerning for me.
GrapheneOS has an approach that always prioritizes security at a technical level over privacy over promoting FLOSS. I think the first two are difficult to balance as they are interrelated but sometimes come at the cost of one another. I think the second is reasonable to have below the first two given the state of app ecosystems in general.
F-Droid does need to improve its approach to security. I can see why projects don’t promote it as a default.
It’s not harming anyone. You can still install FDroid as you wish.
Likewise you can choose not to install closed-source apps. Personally I appreciate having the ability to install apps of all kinds from outside the Google Spy Store.
No one said anything about a misconception. That’s a nice piece of propaganda there. Another reason Linux will never proliferate. Because they don’t want it to.

I agree, F-droid hat its problems that have to be solved, but still, F-droid needs help, not a replacement.

No, it’s misconception. Optionally free Is not enough.

Accrescent devs claims about closed-source software and third party repos isn’t a propaganda?
