The dev has been working hard on a whole suite of apps for years, taking only donations, so I can sympathize if he wants to sell out and be done with it, even if it's very against the free software way.

What is reactionary is the abysmal choice of a company this is. Imagine seeing your old projects now with craptier subscriptions, ads and spyware. I wonder if the main dev even cares. Other contributors are having serious discussions about the copyleft licensing and the legality of this but it seems like the dev and ZipoApps (the company) won't give a single flying fuck.

On the other hand, there are many free software alternatives on F-Droid. And the whole thing is probably being panick-forked too. Doesn't make the situation surrounding free software vs. capitalism any better though.

If you must use the F-droid repo, use Neo Store instead. The official F-droid client has severe security issues.

Palestine

A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.

Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.

Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.

We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.
