F-Droid wa mou shindeiru Nanonymous No.4949 [D][S][L][A][C]

>In the past week, a controversy around F-Droid took place at its forum and in the fediverse. We feel like we have to put out a public statement to clear F-Droid’s position on it.
>To recap the situation: a website joined the fediverse only half a month ago that is well known to be a “free speech zone”, meaning it claims to tolerate all opinions. While in theory this might seem to be a good concept, it has serious consequences: things like racism, sexism, verbal abuse, violent nationalist propaganda, discrimination against gender and sexual minorities, antisemitism and a lot more things become popular on such instances. For good reasons, all these things are prohibited on the clear majority of instances in the fediverse. Because of this, yet even before mentioned website joined the fediverse, most instances already blocked it.
>The developers of Tusky, one of the most popular app to access the fediverse on Android devices, decided to go a step further by implementing a mechanism that doesn’t allow to log into mentioned website. Fedilab on the other hand decided not to implement such a mechanism, stating that it’s ineffective (more on this below) and that a tool’s developer should not decide which people are allowed to use it.
>F-Droid as a project soon celebrates its 9th birthday. In these 9 years, F-Droid’s mission was and is to create a place where people could download software they can trust – meaning only free, libre and open source software is available on its flagship repository. As a project, it tried to stay neutral all the time. But sometimes, staying neutral isn’t an option but instead will lead to the uprise of previously mentioned oppression and harassment against marginalized groups. We don’t want and won’t support that. F-Droid is taking a political stance here.
>F-Droid won’t tolerate oppression or harassment against marginalized groups. Because of this, it won’t package nor distribute apps that promote any of these things. This includes that it won’t distribute an app that promotes the usage of previously mentioned website, by either its branding, its pre-filled instance domain or any other direct promotion. This also means F-Droid won’t allow oppression or harassment to happen at its communication channels, including its forum. In the past week, we failed to fulfill this goal on the forum, and we want to apologize for that.
>We believe platforms like F-Droid’s repository or fediverse instances must be moderated in order to prevent oppression and harassment to flourish. We think, however, that one needs to differentiate between platforms and tools. By its very nature, free software by definition allows users “to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish”. Because of this, any restriction implemented in free software is basically ineffective, because people can modify the source code and remove those restrictions. We respect Tusky’s decision to block mentioned website; it’s their right to introduce restrictions like these into their software. We also respect Fedilab’s decision not to hardcode a login block; instead they are actively working on making it easier to block certain domains in the app itself and thus giving users more power to moderate which content they’ll see. If people disagree with F-Droid’s decision not to flag Fedilab, a idea is to develop a decentralized tag system based on package IDs which allow third-party servers to share their own warnings with their community.

Cumskins ruin every project they touch. They are willing slaves to the jew. I guarantee that everyone who had a major say in this decision was a white male.

Thanks for the info Asukanigletbitch. Never thought I'd say this but the asukafaggot is right this time (maybe alwyas, fuck). We hwitefags should be tied up and beaten.

Libremone have also been sending warnings to accounts that like or boost free speech content in their fediverse instance.

The internet, what a rancid cunting place.

>The internet, some people disagree with my opinion REEEEEEEEE
Here's the thing about the internet and free software, federation etc. It doesn't matter if you disagree with people - you can host it yourself, and modify it however you wish. It doesn't matter if the developers of f-droid turn out to be a bunch of jews trying to fill the water supply with estrogen - you can take their software, and host you own repository - call it "NiggerDroid". Then, you can host all the (((undesirable))) content you want, and tell all your free-speech loving friends to use NiggerDroid instead of F-Droid. In fact, you can host every single one of the applications from f-droid on NiggerDroid without anyones permission - since they are all free software.

This is the whole point of the GPL and free software - it gives power to the user without restriction and prevents the developer from being a tyrant and imposing their will upon you.

Gee, I wonder why.

She's a weeb or mentally retarded jap, ignore all her posts.

In theory, because you have to modify yourself or someone who will be willing to do it and host it. We are used to getting spoonfed "free software" and then we get situations like on F-Droid where "free software" repository will deliberately censor free speech.  Now is good time to make use of FOSS.

What's the point of re-hosting all of fdroid's applications? You can just get your users to add your repo in fdroid so they can download your /pol/ware.

Who decides which groups are marginalized?

Gab is accessible over the fediverse now? huh. I had not idea. I thought gab was just another walled garden.

Nanonymous No.5051 [D]

Well accessible through nodes which have not blacklisted it.

Nanonymous No.5273 [D] >>5277
>>5045

Gab is still walled off afaik, they just switched to Mastodon code because it's better.
The Mastodon dev went apeshit in a leftard way and a bunch of instances have banned Gab I think.
Also Gab isn't some nazi place really, the leader person is even a Zionist iirc.

Total clusterfuck of a situation where retarded boomer conservatives who don't understand tech and think everything is centralized, and tech literate progressive-communists who want to keep them from being tech-red pilled because they might get on and say trannys are mentally ill.

>F-Droid gonna ban apps or something

Have they banned any yet?

Nanonymous No.5277 [D]
>>5273
>Gab is still walled off afaik
Nope. Gab federates with any willing servers on the fediverse implementing the activitypub or ostatus protocols. The only thing really walled off is groups. You can not view, join, or participate in groups if you do not have a Gab account. Posts to a group will still display on your normal feed so people following you on other nodes will be able to see your posts to groups.

You UNIX weenies never stop being retarded do you?

Nanonymous No.5784 [D]
Since fuckdroid has become another google clone, there's no need to advertise itself as some better alternative.

Anyway, android ecosystem is designed to spy on you, so fuckdroid's stance just reinforces what we already know. We need an android alternative where no fuckdroid will be necessary.

unix niggers will never learn. they should learn from windows
