   @pixelcode we have had our troubles with fdroid classifications as well due to some automated code scanners (some code built but not linked into the final artifact) disabling fdroid releases retroactively (causing troubles foramy users). We scrambled to fix and adapt and remained doubtful of.the precise reasoning and procedures. Then again, fdroid has a lot of things to cope with and we respect and depend on their work.

     Can anyone explain the reasoning behind #F-Droid's classification of apps into “contains anti-features”?

     PixelDroid, a FOSS client for Pixelfed (FOSS), has no anti-features. Several Mastodon clients, however, “promote closed-source cloud services”, although Mastodon is FOSS too.

     FOSS clients for Tutanota and ProtonMail (closed-source servers) do have anti-features, but regular IMAP clients don't (although the typical mail server is not FOSS).

     To me, the classification seems random at best. 🧐
