#FDroid prides itself with all the measures it takes not only to host great privacy respecting apps but also having a great client that's under the user control. The whole software ecosystem is built to be #decentralized, with multiple clients, repos and mirrors. This means we don't have visibility into how users chose to connect to our servers, be it directly, via a proxy, via Tor or some VPN.

#IPFS adds up on top of these, and we'd like to know: How do you feel about IPFS in F-Droid Client?

Using it daily, love it!

It uses public gateways not a local node so I didn't bother.

@light @fdroidorg Does that mean you download to your device via a remote IPFS node that you don't have control over, as opposed to running a node on your phone which also uploads and contributes to the network?

If that is the case, it would be nice to have the ability to run a local node, however I could see that being a huge battery drain and not appropriate for most users.
