You want ME to put ecency apk in F-Droid? Seriously?

Screenshot from the post these comments derive from to remind you of the importance:

"An alternative to centralized GitHub is self-hostable GitLab, but only a few percentage of developers are willing and/or able to use those alternatives."

And something else to consider:

"You should know that the Ecency frontend (https://ecency.com/) uses Google for its Certificate Authority (Google Trust Services LLC providing SSL/TLS certificates) and antispam (reCAPTCHA).

Ecency also uses CloudFlare as its CDN. CloudFlare is a privacy nightmare for both website owners and users alike. While its benefits are DDoS-resistance and faster page loading times, it is also responsible for many issues regarding the failure to load images from IPFS."
