Have you ever wondered what it would be like to engage in a mobile ecosystem outside of the watchful eye of the Big Tech giants and gatekeepers? A system that includes everything from operating systems, to app stores, to cloud services, messaging apps, email servers and more? A system that puts your privacy first, believes in a democratic approach and healthy competition, and a system that relies on open-source solutions to drive its software? Welcome to Mobifree, a human-centered, ethical alternative, that champions privacy over profit and believes in collaboration, sustainability and inclusiveness.
Everyone is locked into a mobile phone ecosystem where the terms are dictated by a handful of Big Tech companies all located in a single country. From end users looking to download and use their favorite apps, to developers who run into roadblocks when trying to get their solutions published, to governments who are increasingly using apps as a way to provide services to their citizens, we are all impacted by the gatekeeping, data tracking, and railroading Big Tech is imposing on us in the current mobile ecosystem. A new alternative is required to shape a better future. And F-Droid is excited to be a part of creating that new mobile ecosystem, together with our other partners in Mobifree.
Trying to dig up information on the e foundation is a little difficult. The Wikipedia page mentions commercial organizations, I’m not clear if the foundation actually is a non-profit mission focused organization, or something else

The foundation manages /e/OS, ECORP SAS is their online sales/services. ECORP SAS is privately owned.

A bit older, but maybe relevant: https://ewwlo.void.partidopirata.com.ar/
/e/OS always seemed kinda pointless to me (the OS itself is just LineageOS + MicroG, which is easily available at https://lineage.microg.org), but I didn’t realize they are actually being malicious, too.
Wait r u sure they are malicious. I use it all time congerm pls.
Well, you could just read the article. I personally find them to not be trustworthy. You would probably be way better off with just Lineage for MicroG.
Naah, I am asking about nextcloud they host at murena.io and their mail.
That website is horrible, reads like somebody having a temper tantrum.
