I would assume there are no plans to release on free stores like F-droid because the people behind these projects usually don’t care about the ecosystem; they’re just in it for the money! It’s all auto-pilot for them, which means releasing only on the company stores “just because” that’s what everyone else is doing.
I’d love to be proven wrong, but I won’t hold my breath!
Have you heard about “arguing in bad faith”? When it’s an entirely different person or entity from those that screwed us in the past it’s unfair on them to assume they’re in it to screw people over especially when it comes to open source federated platforms where cutting one head means it can still work fine.
It’s totally possible I’m incorrect, I even said that at the bottom of my text.
If I’m wrong, great. But I won’t hold my breath because I wasn’t born yesterday. Seeing this guy say “not for sale” while begging for money is a very tired stance to have, considering all the people who work harder than him and don’t rely on donations or sales.
Is there a repo to get the official app on F-droid? Or is it play store only? (And why)
Great questions!

Those are some pretty bad faith assumptions
In the current state of the world you can’t blame him/her. He’s just describing enshittification which is the norm in social media
Only if you were born yesterday!

Hey man, neither of us can see the future.

I guess he just didn’t receive the right offer yet. Just wait until he gets offered millions.
Just because a lot of people sell their kidney if the price is high enough, there indeed are people true to their principles.
For me it’s this: if I can achieve my goals/dreams (which at least in my case are at least capped regarding money), why do I need more money?
Nice advertisement.
