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

    I understand and empathize with F-Droid’s position in this. An account and key handover took place. It would be a dangerous precedent for F-Droid to unilaterally take the app down without any proof of anything nefarious based on something as nebulous as community rumblings, with no way to verify any of the ill motives ascribed to the actions of the original and new maintainer.

      and now that the handover was confirmed, it’s unlikely they’ll do anything without hard evidence of malicious intent
