Never having used aniwave, I can’t say how it compares.

Briar is a messaging app that defaults to Tor. I have limited usage with Briar and have never used Telegram so I can’t say how they compare.

Filtering USA politics is why I use Thunder instead of Jerboa.

I’m using Thunder. I never did like Jerboa.

I use Droid-ify which auto updates the repos. I do follow their blog via rss. https://f-droid.org/feed.xml

I get very little spam since I ported my cell number to voip. I figure they have filters in place.

Book Reader removed which I find strange. Shouldn’t the oldest apps be removed first? I found apps from 2014.

Scan your passport.
