- Zigurd 9y agoThat's true, but the importance of Play Store distribution has risen from "makes you more discoverable" to "makes you more trust-able" now that Play Store uploads are scanned for malware and have to adhere to Google policies. I have no desire to run Gab, but the effect of this decision is not only a stand against racists, it also exposes Gab users to a high chance of loading malware.
- willstrafach 9y agoPretty important distinction too. Android has built in ability to load from alternative sources and does not force folks to use the Play Store for downloads, so this developer is welcome to submit their app to an alternative store (Multiple options).
