Due to "anti-features" introduced unilaterally by some people from FDroid community, it is not possible to find Organic Maps using the search in FDroid client without tinkering with its settings first: gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-

By default, it is possible to find apps with ads, with tracking, with non-free network services, dependencies and assets, apps without source code and with known vulnerabilities. But it is not possible to find Organic Maps, an open-source app without ads and tracking.

@organicmaps yes, our communication about this change was not ideal.

We tried to cover it in f-droid.org/2024/07/25/twif.ht and f-droid.org/2024/04/04/twif.ht, but apparently it wasn't read by everybody (surprise, surprise 🙈).

Unfortunately, we didn't find any good technical solution to enable the new Anti-Feature automatically (but only for those, who didn't change their AFs manually).

Moreover, this new AF was designed to clearly differentiate, that apps like OM are NOT NonFreeNet, but only TetheredNet.

@fdroidorg @organicmaps please reconsider how to handle anti-features. They're super hostile to developers. And also they are very difficult to understand for most users. Using terms like NonFreeNet, TetheredNet.... c'mon nobody's gonna understand those therms with lengthy explanations.
