I would recommend Obtainium more than F-droid:

GitHub - ImranR98/Obtainium: Get Android app updates straight from the source.

Get Android app updates straight from the source. Contribute to ImranR98/Obtainium development by creating an account on GitHub.

F-droid is just as centralized as the PlayStore. They just have different rules (open source only) but can easily take down an app just because they want it down. With things like Obtainium, you download the APK straight from the Amethyst repo. There is no list.

This. It requires a bit more maintenance than F-Droid but now it's my favorite way of getting apps

F-droid is useful if you want curated ooen aource software that has at least met some minimum aet of privacy requirements. Its good for people starting out, not knowing how to identify credible ooen source apps. I'm curious why nobody mentions that you can install your own app repository and pubkey in f-droid? @DarthCoin ₿⚡️
