But that's not what happened at all - you can add custom repositories to F-Droid and use them just fine, just like you can use a web browser to visit other websites. It would be more like if Google kicked them off of Blogspot but you could still use Chrome to visit their website.
- young_unixer 5y agoIt's more like: the website is blocked, but you can go to about:config, set some obscure boolean flag, and then you can access the website.
- miloignis 5y agoI disagree - I think we've pushed the website metaphor a bit too far anyway. Let's compare it to a more similar application, the apt package manager. It's a reasonable to debate, but I think a legitimate position for Ubuntu or Debian to not include Gab in their main repository, but allow you to add it as a PPA if you want.
