    Fdroid is just a program that lets you download apps from repos. Why would an Fdroid repo have nothing to do with Fdroid?

        Your aggressive tone is predictably inappropriate considering your failure at applying simple logic. You would only have a partial excuse if you’re 11y/o or something.

        There is f-droid the app store, and f-droid.org’s main repo. See, it’s not that hard.

        just because they have an app that allows you to add other repos doesn’t mean those other repos are a part of f-droid

        And that app is called… get it?

        Because those other repos are not f-droid repos

        Repos made to work in the f-droid app are not f-droid repos… wow

        Is the f-droid.org’s archive repo not an f-droid repo, too. lol.

        Please tell me you’re not an adult!

        The thing is, you started on the right track:

        Sync is not open source and Fdroid only allows open source.

        Here, you are on the right. And you could have followed up later by simply pointing out that “Will it be released to F-Droid” usually means “Will it be on f-droid.org’s FOSS-only main repo”, but you decided to rant some weird incoherent shit, and insisted on dying on a hell of straws instead!

        Just saying, nobody loves a pedant.

            I apologize for douchenozzling up the thread. I actually appreciate the explanation as it was informative, but it is pedantic to focus on that instead of answering the original question.

                Can’t argue with that, was just trying to point out why people were reacting negatively is all.

        Thanks for editing your comments to change the meaning of them and shift the focus of my comment instead of telling me why you wouldn’t like Sync for Lemmy to host its own Fdroid repo as was the intended focus of my original comment.

            I never said to add it to the main repo operated by the F-droid team. I suggested adding it to an alternative 3rd-party repo that allows non-open source applications.

            Obviously a repository compatible with F-droid can be called an F-droid repo, and is called as such by both the community and in official documentation. That doesn’t mean its necessarily owned or operated by the F-droid dev team as you seem to think I’m implying.
