When reviewing apps, F-Droid takes the user’s point of view, first and foremost.
Various apps have features that are not in our users' interest but that don't make them ineligible for inclusion, like tracking or using non-free network services. Which is why we clearly mark apps that have these "Anti-Features", so that users are able to make an informed choice whether they find those acceptable or not.
The latest version of the F-Droid client is now able to show a description explaining why an app has a specific Anti-Feature, so users don't need to find that information elsewhere to make an informed decision.
And thanks to the hard work of @IzzyOnDroid over the last few days, we now have those descriptions for many apps in our repository, so the client actually has something to show the user.

A nonprofit organization that researches links between social media, hate and extremism has been threatened with a lawsuit by X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. An attorney for the platform recently wrote to the Center for Countering Digital Hate accusing the group of trying to hurt the site's advertising. The center has published numerous research reports documenting an increase in hate speech on the platform since it was purchased last year by Elon Musk. The center says Musk is trying to silence his critics, despite his claims to support free speech.
