Android users: do you install apps from alternate app stores?

I last had an android as my main driver in 2013 and used to run a jail broken OS, but have no idea how common installing non play store apps is these days

@jesseplusplus I use f-droid for a few things. I don't know if you are aware, but you are asking this at an interesting time: https://keepandroidopen.org/

Advocating for Android as a free, open platform for everyone to build apps on.

@mhp I was not aware of that. thank you for sharing. very concerning and surprising given the recent DMA stuff forcing Apple to allow alternative app stores. I don’t see how the same wouldn’t apply to Android.
@jesseplusplus agreed. But I didn't want you to waste a bunch of time without being aware at least!
@mhp thanks! I’ve already been wasting so much time trying to get approved to release in the official store (issues with forming the company before a name change and them not accepting my legal documentation of such), I figured it’d be worth looking into alternatives
@jesseplusplus Either way, it sounds like I'll be able to join the frequency fun soonish!
