Why do fdroid main repo keep apps that has not been updated in 12 years ? Isn't it more logical to move apps that has not been updated in more than three years to the archive ?

Why do fdroid main repo keep apps that has not been updated in 12 years ? Isn't it more logical to move apps that has not been updated in more than three years to the archive ? - sh.itjust.works

Like i use an older version of android and every new app on fdroid works for me and keeping the main repo full of abandonware isn’t a good idea and will hold fdroid back on being a good app store . And its not like the apps are deleted or anything if someone needs them for whatever reason they can find it on archive and not everyone have to load it all when using the main repo which is better for users and those who host mirrors as most of do use the newer apps instead of abandonware and Is there a specific reason they do this ? I asked this on their IRC but i didn’t get any reply and then i got logged out and IRC doesn’t show previous chats is there any way to get in touch with them as i think doing this will benefit everyone . I don’t have much experience using gitlab and i don’t think that is the place to discuss things like that . Also if anyone could get in touch with them about this and keep me updated that’ll be appreciated as i am trying to keep my internet accounts small and don’t wanna make a github or matrix acc solely for this so if anyone could help that’ll ve appreciated.

Just because an app is old, does not mean that it is not usable or bad. Let’s look at games for example.
Yep lets look at games does GL TRON work for you ?
I picked the 1. in the list “1010! Klooni” last time was updated 4 years ago. Works fine and is actually kinda fun.
I was talking about fdroid and in there it was updated 9 years ago idk what you are talking about
The first game in the game list of fdroid alphabetically sorted.
Bruh i am talking about GL TRON what has this got to do with anything ??

It’s got to do with your whole post about old apps being removed.

Wow.
