Peace be with you, F-Droid Community. 🌹

As many probably know, Google will block Android starting 2027.

Here is my hope: Google has shot itself in the foot with this Darth Vader move, because many People who loves privacy will now switch to de-googled systems, because ( Since to my knowledge), the blockade won't affect those systems.

So this is just my Openion and my HOPE.

What's your take on this?

And I kindly say to all developers: Please don't register in Google.

There are so many people using de-googled systems now, including myself. Please keep going for us, and four you too. Please

Best wishes from Germany 🌹

Can you advertise f-droid in an app on play store? Or offer free features on a link that teaches how to f-droid yourself?

Fdroid is exactly what they're about to block

Not necessarily and there are ways to install it waiting a day, then it won't be enforced on a per app basis like they plan.
