@d0gb3r7 Oh yeah that one was also something that pissed me off thoroughly. I'm still angry that back then even less people cared about it. It seems they're only caring now because of their own ability to install apps.
If there is anything I learned over the years it's that people love FOSS apps but couldn't care less about how the devs of their favourite apps are treated (aside from some exceptionally nice people here and there of course) 😅

@d0gb3r7 Google forcing a legal name policy forced several trans people I knew to pull their apps off Google Play just to not get outed, deadname and all. And literally nobody I spoke to cared at all. It was utterly depressing to see. And now we are in step 2 of "make it impossible to make apps anonymously and control distribution" and the only reason people care is the distribution being controlled. The safety of devs in a world where the US asks Google who created ICEBlock? No one cares.
