Google has suspended Element (@matrix) from the Play Store for "Sexual Content and Profanity". Basically same story as with Subway Tooter a while back. Element is to Matrix as Chrome is to the web. Curiously, Chrome is still on the Play Store.

The open-source #Android ecosystem need to grow more. Common people need to stop giving all their private data to big corporations, how can we help them? To enable everyone to switch to a secure software repository that respects your data and your right to #privacy we need an alternate to Google's Play Store and its name is #FDroid in every language.

Based on a conversation I had on IRC yesterday Some of the people just don't care about the fact that there are privacy issues.
There seems to be hostility towards us now as we are trying to push this too hard
What we can do is be ready to jump on any opportunity or news event with regard to data sharing etc
Be ready to support people and lets spread positive stories.
We need some sort of community on here, if you sign up to a course at an old fashioned brick college or online there are support groups on Facebook from example,l we need the same sort of thing here,
Maybe focus on a community rather than just the privacy aspect we may appeal to people better by providing what they want and need in their every day life.

Definitely agree - I love open source, privacy-oriented organizations and initiatives, but the community's attitude is really off-putting.
