@dec_hl I think something like an #App #curator site that allows #filtering / has said filters set by default as a "#SafeSearch" would be propably best...

• The core problem is that since there's no #affiliate program woth #Apple's #AppStore nor #GooglePlay and @EUCommission having killed competitiors to the latter like #AndroidPit #AppCenter with #VAT shite, there is no ethical way to monetize it once it exceeds the average #WebHoster's "unlimited traffic" plans...

Not to mention it'll get #downranked and #shadowbanned from both platfirms pretty quickly.

THIS is why I find #Azure, #aws, #GCP et. al so frustrating and similarly neglective as #NameCheap, #GDaddy and #CloudFlare, cuz evhen the cheapest 08/15 #VPS & #Webhoster I know will take #AbuseReports serious and handle them accordingly, whereas one may have to block entire IP blocks if not complete ASNs to shield from ongoing attacks!

nodds in agreement

• I think having a proper #API is a way to facilitate that, cuz worst-case one just slaps together some #aliases in #bash, #fish, #zsh or whatever #shell and just uses #curl to query stuff manually as this solves the whole #WebApp - issue.

And I do prefer #FLOSS as it works fine for an ever increasing audience!

• Even if we choose to point at bad #UX / #UI combos like #GnuPG, we've to also acknowledge better existing alternatives like #enc that just work!

Personally, I think that everything people are expected to use if not forced to use should be #OpenSource as licensed in a #OSI accredited license and be released with #SourceCode and #documentation to make #reproduceableBuilds and thus facilitate #audits by truly independent parties...

• And if that's not possible any requirement to using said things should be outlawed no matter the context!

A unsarcastically good example is #S3, even tho I hate #amazon, they wanted #developers to integrate their #ObjectStorage which necessitated an #open source'd API to the point that it's #backend is inherently reproduceable, and now every halfassing #Webhoster offers S3 #storage, sometimes with bit & second-precise billing.
