I understand and empathize with F-Droid’s position in this. An account and key handover took place. It would be a dangerous precedent for F-Droid to unilaterally take the app down without any proof of anything nefarious based on something as nebulous as community rumblings, with no way to verify any of the ill motives ascribed to the actions of the original and new maintainer.

So, we’re doing the false equivalence “Both sides bad” posting on this level too, now? It was bad enough when it was dissuading American leftists from voting by both-sidesing GOP and the democrats, now we’re supposed to believe Frontex is as bad as ICE and EU trade policy is as moronic as Trump’s baseless tariff farts?

Note, this is not an invitation for you to tell the class the bad things Forex has done. I’m well aware. They’re not patrolling European streets rounding up people who don’t “look right”, without identifying themselves, in flagrant violation of the law, and without ensuring their kidnappees detainees receive due process.
