In the last year Google has banned: the Element app, the LBRY app, and several Fediverse apps. If you get all of your apps from a single corporation, be it Google or Apple, you should make an effort to change that.

If you have an Android phone F-Droid is an alternative app repository, and it’s very easy to install! All of the previously mentioned apps have been available from F-Droid throughout being dropped from the Play Store.

If you have an iPhone, please consider other options for your next device. Apple does not respect you enough as a user to consider you possibly more capable of deciding what you should install on your phone than they are. That is absurd; please stop rewarding this behavior with your money.

@robby I did not know that Element and Lbry were banned. Do you know on what grounds they were banned? I'm not surprised but haven't heard anything about it.

@robby Ok so the element ban just happened. Lbry has been a while, and their app was supposedly over content which is blatant hypocrisy.
