> #FDroid is an App Store that does not allow developers to sign their own apps
Why lie though? Developers can always sign their own #FLOSS verified #reproducible built apps, we host almost 1000 of those.
Many developers choose not to submit to #Google, hence no matter if they sign or not, it does not matter if you download via Github, Obtainium or Accrescent, their apps won't be installable anyway.
If the #keepandroidopen site does not make this clear, please say so.

@fdroidorg I'd like to correct my statement then F-Droid only ships developers signatures for reproducible builds. There the signature is not important though because I can verify that the binary matches the code. Where it would be important is when there a no reproducible builds. https://f-droid.org/en/docs/FAQ_-_App_Developers/#what-about-signing
