We strongly oppose the Unified Attestation initiative and call for app developers supporting privacy, security and freedom on mobile to avoid it. Companies selling phones should not be deciding which operating systems people are allowed to use for apps.
The Nostr based app store called "Zapstore" has already solved this problem. Zapstore empowers developers to sign and release apps over the Nostr protocol without needing to get permission from any app store or from any governnent or any other entity.
The Zapstore already has most of the useful F-Droid apps, and anyone can release more apps.

@firedragon this had nothing to do with app distribution
But Zapstore makes it so you don't have to use Google's ecosystem and lets you use a branched, DeGoogled version of the Android Open Source Project, which many of us privacy advocates are already doing.
@firedragon you can already do this without that. This post has nothing to do with app distribution, and they already recommend accrescent.app
