About
๐ค A community for sharing and promoting free / libre and open source software on the Android platform.
โจ This means software you are free to modify and distribute, such as applications licensed under the GNU General Public License, BSD license, MIT license, Apache license, etc. and software that isn't designed to restrict you in any way.
๐ฌ๐ป Think of free software as free as in freedom of speech, not free beer.
Rules
๐ฒ Must relate to Android
Your post must be related to the Android operating system.
๐ Mention Source License
When promoting applications, please mention the source license (GPL, MIT, etc.).
โจ๏ธ Link Source Code first
This again is about promoting applications. Please include a link to the source code of the application at the top. If the application is hosted on F-Droid, a single link to the F-Droid page is OK, as it includes all relevant information.
๐คก No Memes
Please refrain from posting memes in this community.
๐ฃ Promote your own
Software Developers may promote their own apps and updates. No prior confirmation with the mods is required.

MODERATORS
While that's true, I'm often torn when it gets to removing comments, posts or even people. I'm a free speech advocate. That doesn't mean that I think offending someone is free speach or being a bigot, racist, *-phobe, etc. is free speech. But I grew up in Germany and one of my parents is Japanese. Both countries had their fair share of... let's say "issues with free speech" in history. That's why I usually stick with the stance that a community will mostly moderate itself through downvotes and reports.
With FOSS for Android or FOSS in general, we face the issue that sometimes, there are no viable alternatives for people in the FOSS space, so they'll have to turn to closed source alternatives. That's why I usually let the comments up. But this thread was all closed source recommendations, so I removed them. I did so reluctantly, because I honor that people take their time to comment. They probably just didn't look at the community they were posting in.
Sorry for the long comment, I usually tend to explain myself thoroughly.
