Why not? Not reliable? Not safe? I'm re-learning (stuff got obsolete since last time I was interested)

Izzyondroid isn't as strict when it comes to the software they package

Good to know. Added it because I read it had some extra apps. I'm trying new stuff

And that is a fair answer. My long term concern is that developers will start taking the easy route more and more instead of adhering to F-Droid's fairly high standard.

What?

[–] Sentient 3 points 9 months ago

Like they advertise their app as being on fdroid but when you click the link its izzy

Not OP but my answer to this is that I only add sources that I know I need to make sure I understand where everything comes from and to keep that attack surface lower.
