the #Syncthing Android drama is exploding. https://github.com/researchxxl/syncthing-android/issues/16 @[email protected] at this point is being used to push out an app with sensitive permissions that's been taken over by an unknown individual who refuses to engage with its large community of users and developers. I STRONGLY recommend disabling updates from Fdroid, if not uninstalling and manually installing 2.0.11.2, or installing the Google Play version which has a different maintainer. this is extremely shady and it's just looking worse as time goes on. I'll link to the Syncthing forum thread from about where I left off last time in a subsequent post. #SyncthingFork #SyncthingAndroid

    as an ammendum to this comment edit, catfriend edited the post linked and added this to the end

    Edit: Regarding @nel0x , they did not have any history with the Syncthing (Android) project nor an expressive public profile when they applied to take over the Google Play Store entry in Feb 2025. I accepted this and transferred - believing in good will and we agreed on their task to be publishing what was on my repository to Google Play after their review. If they now desire to make their own app, there is, unfortunately no way to clean up the confusion caused if it is called the same other than kindly asking them to rename it.
