@foss In reference to this post- https://lemmy.ml/post/6374732

For Molly, I kept seeing this popup by Google when downloading Molly FOSS from fdroid.

Should I be concerned? What should I do to ensure I am downloading Molly from a trusted source if Fdroid isn’t an ideal place (due to misleading names as depicted in the referenced post)?

    Play Protect gives a lot of false positive warnings for me, and I usually just ignore them

    FDroid is one of the safest, but you may need to go into settings -> repositories to check which repos are being used. What is checked off when you do that?

      The repo a specific app comes from can also be checked by opening the list of versions, then clicking on one of the versions to show the details.
