Non toxic mobile privacy community - sh.itjust.works

So I’ve been in the rabbit hole of android privacy for some time, last I joined the GrapheneOS community but let’s just say that they doesn’t have a “healthy” opinion about other projects like f-droid. So I am looking for generic communities that focus on mobile privacy that doesn’t have drama or toxicity or “extreme opinions”. Any suggestions? I prefer chat based communities like matrix or simplex instead of like reddit or lemmy.

What does a healthy opinion of F-Droid look like though? Lol

What’s an unhealthy opinion of f-droid? Is something wrong with it? Genuine question. I’m out of the loop.

F-droid acts as a trust for all the apps you download through it, which means if F droid is hacked, hackers can push fake update to all the apps. It is an issue, but not the biggest concern of average joe. Although F-droid should take it pretty seriously.

But I think hating on them is not the solution…
