Thank you for putting in this amount of effort highlighting some shortcomings of the Fediverse

No uBO? No Adblocker at all?

Cool idea! THis should be more broadly discussed. After some discussion here, where could we share it with the F-Droid community? Is there a forum or such?

My five cents: The problem I see is account stuff. You can use F-Droid without an account, and do not want to require an account for ratings. Yet, having no accounts, it is incredibly easy to manipulate votings.

I would probably prefer a “Git Issue”-like thread for every app, where you have to register. This allows for

• Deeper conversation, more insightful reviews, instead of “3 starts, UI ugly” (let’s face it, this is not the reason why we use F-Droid)
• Pointing out code lines in the source code. This could help with bug fixes, malicious stuff, etc.
• …

In how far? I think it is actually a valid criticism of a very strongly opinionated take.

(Just letting you two know that this is exactly the kind of mindset I was looking for on Lemmy. Unfortunately, people bring their Reddit habits with them here.)

This is the new “Is $DATETIME_NOW.year the Year of the linux desktop?”.

This is hilarious, thanks for the giggle :))
