Coordinating a raid on our issue tracker because we decided to use a different app distribution mechanism than F-Droid is unacceptable. We have valid technical reasons for not using F-Droid. In the past, we were fine with them packaging our apps but now we really aren't anymore.

You should be ashamed of yourself and apologize. — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe. Triage notifications on the go with GitHub Mobile for iOS or Android.

I'm just an end user. I wonder where are all these attacks? And how does one know its official from the fdroid team and not just "people on the internet" Its sad to see this hatred in the com

We explained our reasoning for needing to make a new app repository system to one of our community members on Twitter. This is not a reasonable or acceptable response from one of their project members. It isn't going to silence us from explaining the reasoning behind decisions.

Just saying but maybe F-Droid developers shouldn't be organizing raids on our issue tracker and attempting to get people to harass us across different rooms. Explaining our reasoning for wanting a new repository system doesn't justify attacks they coordinated in their dev room.
Sylvia van Os (F-Droid project member) saying "Why is the Graphene dev so insane" in the Aurora Store off-topic room as part of cross-platform harassment.

This is the group many of us have trusted with building and signing open source apps instead of getting the releases from app developer or OS developers. The technical usability and security issues have become a bigger issue for us over time but now it's a major trust issue too.

...We'll be collaborating with other projects on these efforts. There will be other repositories using the system we plan on developing and some of those intend to provide a full alternative to F-Droid.” Is it what you're talking about here or only a GrOS based repository?
