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. 🧐
