GrapheneOS on Nostr: F-Droid has incredibly poor security practices and a strong anti-security attitude ...
F-Droid has incredibly poor security practices and a strong anti-security attitude held by most of the people involved. They've consistently engaged in coverups of vulnerabilities and targeting multiple security researchers with libel and harassment.
It's a massive single point of failure and not worthy of the trust many people are placing in it. It's adding another trusted party compared to using the apps built and signed by the developers. It is not avoiding trust in the developers of apps.
