please let aptoide win it would be so fucking funny

If they can win this, I’ll go back to using Aptoide.

Can F-Droid get in on this too? Like, yes maybe Aptoide isn’t the best ally to have on a good day. But right now there’s a bigger enemy.

The enemy of my enemy is potentially the lesser enemy of two enemies. Also potentially the greater enemy… the point is they’re still my enemy.
