@oeafgerjge @nydel Everyone who understands the politics of this - and it is 100% political - told Torba that the official app stores would force app devs to hard code a domain ban and that is happening.

Torba forked Mastodon as a publicity stunt and to save money on rewriting Gab from scratch. There was never a ghost of a chance of getting into Google's store. You really think Google can't handle preventing any Android app they allow in their store from connecting to Gab?

Next up a system level firewall blocking all hate sites from being accessed via Android devices.
