#FDroid prides itself with all the measures it takes not only to host great privacy respecting apps but also having a great client that's under the user control. The whole software ecosystem is built to be #decentralized, with multiple clients, repos and mirrors. This means we don't have visibility into how users chose to connect to our servers, be it directly, via a proxy, via Tor or some VPN.
#IPFS adds up on top of these, and we'd like to know: How do you feel about IPFS in F-Droid Client?

@fdroidorg for me you could move both TOR and IPSF out of the "basic" app.
As it certainly not often used, that would allow the majority of people that do not want it out of basic.
And would allow your dev to dev normal feature over basic, and maintain dev of those feature on the normal chanel.
So if one day you have an issue with it you won't break basic.

@fdroidorg not sure, I have it enabled, but i don't know if it's actually using it... which reminds me - I should add an entry so it can use my local ipfs installation

@fdroidorg I'm missing the "I don't want #web3 crypto in my FOSS repository" option

@fdroidorg IPFS proxy system is like having a very inefficient regular mirroring system. Keep it simple, add mirrors not software layers.

@fdroidorg I know what IPFS is and how it works in theory. But I know nothing about using it.
How would I use it F-Droid? I would probably just enable it if it doesn't require another app. -

@fdroidorg option 5: didn't know it was an option.
though looking at that setting: kinda seems like it's not really IPFS? It's just a "you can optionally try to use this CDN: gateway.ipfs.io, ...". Those mirrors generally exist because *browsers* don't speak IPFS, apps can do so with no issue.

@fdroidorg I had no idea what it is but their website raises a few cryptobro flags for me. I could be being mistaken
