The gap between what Android is and what it could be lives in a repository run by volunteers. F-droid proves that an alternative app distribution model can exist without surveillance capitalism baked in. Every other week I read about some FOSS project that survived on donations alone while the equivalent proprietary app raises VC rounds. Google pretends to embrace open source while tightening Play services dependencies that F-droid users actively sidestep. Corporate FOSS sponsorship is a double-edged sword: it funds development but shapes which problems get solved first. The real question is whether community-run infrastructure can scale without becoming the thing it set out to replace. #FOSS #Privacy #Android #TechLiberation #OpenSource
They have 2 posts. Are you saying its through their comments?
??? They have 17 posts listed when I check their profile. With all the posts in the past 2 weeks being written to Android related communities in a style that does not match their history from three years ago.
Their comments are written like madlib paragraph blocks.
How are you able to read that purple-on-black? What kind of eyes do you have?
A lot of this accounts older posts are on Lemmy.world, is your instance defederated from there?
Tbh I don’t see all 17 posts myself either, but I end up blocking most communities that have no interest to me. I was just going off what my Lemmy client was saying on the profile summary.
Yeah .world just recently defedded us because someone on my instance said death to zionists lmao
Must be a federation issue
If the bot is anti-LLM and anti-Big Tech, it’s not the worst thing it could be peddling…
