In case you missed it: Accrescent is now mirrored in the GrapheneOS App Store! This helps GrapheneOS users securely and easily obtain Accrescent from a trusted source. GrapheneOS highly values privacy and security as we do, so we're excited about this collaboration. https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112821386750410102 #privacy #security #accrescent #appstore #android

Today I opened the App Store on my GrapheneOS to see, that Accrescent is now mirrored in it.

I know, that GrapheneOS devs have addressed F-droid very negatively it the past (and they still do that), but imo, including Accrescent as a part of official GOS App Store is very harmful for FLOSS movement, as Accrescent does not support any third-party repos, claiming that they are “breaking the Android security model”, and also allows submitting closed-source apps to the repo.

This unlikely to be the reason for me to change OS, as GrapheneOS is still amazing, but devs rhetoric and actions become more and more concerning for me.

      That’s a nice piece of propaganda there.

      Accrescent devs claims about closed-source software and third party repos isn’t a propaganda?
