      Source: trust me bro

      That’s the problem with Graphene OS. The culture spreads misinformation.

      What part of it? The app itself? There are alternative clients. The protocol? It’s made for people to host app repos, not to ensure everything hosted in an F-Droid compatible repo is safe. The fact that reproducible builds arenct enforced? There’s always a gap where you’re trusting a third party unless you’re building everything from source yourself.

      It’s the android equivalent of a package manager.

      F-Droid is like any other place you get apps and programs to run on one of your devices: caveat emptor. At least all packages are open source so you can review yourself.

      This is as absurd as saying you don’t use linux because someone could typosquat a fake repo or app through the package manager.

      Aight, fair enough, if you don’t consider the software on there hardened enough.
