Comment on Google restores Nextcloud user’s file access on Android
illi@lemm.ee 19 hours agoI’ve had F-Droid since it’s inception and got no clue why others don’t use it
I’ll tell you - average user just doesn’t know about it. And doesn’t know the benefits.

Well, I’m glad you know about it now, but let’s be real nerds won’t shut up about it, so there are plenty who do know but choose not to.
That said, I see no way under a capitalist framework to justify Google being forced to explain to users that they can use F-Droid and what the benefits are, nor do I think such average users will understand an explanation or choose to not ignore it.

You’re just in those circles.
Most people don’t know any nerds, or people who are particularly tech-savvy, and if they do, “alternative app stores” isn’t really the most engaging of topics that people have with their friends.

Thanks for your input! What I’d love to know is what are those people into, if not tech? If they don’t know any “nerds” then who do they know and what do they talk about?
