WHAT IS F-DROID ? F-Droid is an awesome app repository for FOSS (Free & Open Source Software) android apps. From productivity apps to games, f-droid has (almost) everything you need. Hope you will discover useful FOSS apps to free your phone from Big Tech^^ REPOSITORIES : This list includes apps from the official f-droid repo but also from IzzyOnDroid and some customs repositories which will be always linked so you can add them easily. CATEGORIES : F-Droid clients Utilities Social & Communication / 8 subcategories Health / 7 subcategories Customization / 3 subcategories Gaming / 3 subcategories Internet / 6 subcategories Productivity / 15 subcategories Privacy / 5 subcategories Security / 4 subcategories Media apps / 10 subcategories If you care about privacy check : Privacy focused OS for everyone My privacy and user friendly setup For more FOSS Android apps check : Beautiful Open Source Apps for Android DISCLAIMERS : Adding custom repo might not be as secure as the official one so I'm not responsable if you encounter any problems with them ! I encourage you to do your own research about it ! Also while open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps. Most apps that I've listed are privacy friendly but some might be not be perfectly private and secure. I again encourage you to do your own research about them. I am not a privacy and security expert. I'm also don't consider myself as a developper so I do not have any technical knowledge and so I didn't look into any source code of any apps in this list ! English is not my mother tongue ^^'

Either as havens for the deplatformed or as open source self-hosted solutions to those who don't want to put their community in the hands of the google and facebook behemoths, the following solutions are pretty much guaranteed to protect your right to say what you want, as long as you aren't saying/doing anything illegal. Content moderation is pretty lax in many of these apps and unfortunately, many attract refugees with unpopular opinions from the more conventional apps they replace, so proceed at your own risk! NOTE: Unlike my other lists, I revisit this one to edit on a regular basis to add new better options and to remove those which are either shut down, go dark, or compromise their free-speech principles (in the case of third party services).

The federated universe, or “Fediverse”, is a free and open-source alternative to commercial social media platforms. It's composed of a group of federated social networking services, which allow users of each service to communicate with users on any other service. This is typically accomplished using the ActivityPub protocol. In this post, we'll try to present you some lesser-known federated platforms to major and famous social networks you've probably been using for years.
