I actually like that the F-Droid maintainers check over the apps and warn about anti-features/stop offering new versions if they enshittify.

    Their apps also cause tons of problems compared to the ones directly from the source

    They have problems with the build process and verification, also the software is sometimes out of date on fdroid. In addition I dont personally want someone else curating my software library.

    More like F-Droid cares about things like reproducible builds and other best practices, and sloppy upstream projects sometimes have a problem coping. But as I understand it that's typically the upstream developers' problem, not F-Droid's.
