How do you allow comments and ratings for apps, but prevent spam and fake ratings at the same time?

This question has long prevented a rating comment system to be added to #fdroid.

Now that comments and ratings are in G-Droid the question comes naturally up. I've put my opinion there. Would you like to join this interesting discussion? https://gitlab.com/gdroid/gdroidclient/issues/99

G-Droid can now show comments on apps! 😎

Have you also waited to add a review, comment, rating or note to an app in #fdroid ? Wait no longer! G-Droid has now the ability to show toots as comments. Each app has a special hashtag. Just click on 'Write comment' and add your comment. Let others know what you think about an app. Try it now! ✌️

Privacy and security is equal to Mastodon. #deletegoogle 👁️

Sneak preview. #gdroid goes social. See mastodon toots for each app in G-Droid. Will be released soon. Finally we will have the ability to see reviews/comments for F-Droid apps. 🤩

G-Droid shows now Top Authors.

A Top Author is someone who has more than one Top App. A Top App is an app in the top 20% of all apps by star ratings. Star ratings are different on each device as they change with the settings of the user.

When you spot a Top Author make sure you check more of his/her apps as they might be useful and of good quality. Send Top Authors an email and thank them for their engagement. 💪😃

Are you also affected by the #newpipe app currently not working on #fdroid ? While waiting for a fix it is worth trying an alternative. #gdroid has an extra tag for YouTube player apps.

I noticed another app is working quite well and could even be a permanent alternative for me. Check it out. 🤩

A nice talk about #fdroid , some awesome apps and a bit of advertising for #gdroid in the end. Entirely from the perspective of a user, not a developer. Thanks to the speaker @3rik

G-Droid 0.7.0 is now available on #fdroid . This version shows apps similar to your installed apps and apps you might also like. Give it a try! This is a new experience to browse apps of the F-Droid repository. #gdroid #Android

Another good thing: it does all these things without stealing your data to analyze it or do any kind of tracking. #deletegoogle 😍

G-Droid 0.7.0 has been released. Will be picked up by F-Droid soon. In this version you have to scroll down to update the data, like in the F-Droid app.

The small 'update button' that was in the bottom is now a 'sort-button'. You can sort some views now differently. See attached screenshot.

Having trouble finding the right open source apps? The search function in #gdroid offers you to 'search harder' and 'even harder' to find more apps of relevance. At the same time you won't be flooded with irrelevant search results when you know the name of the app already. Give it a try. It helps a lot.

Thanks to Frieder Ferlemann similar apps are now working great in #gdroid . Thanks for the nice cooperation. If you are interested of how similarity between apps in the #fdroid repository are being calculated have a look at the R source code here:

Frieder Ferlemann / app_match.R · GitLab - https://gitlab.com/frief/app_match.r

New apps have been added to the tags in #gdroid . Especially the list of web browsers is now quite extensive. You might find some more by clicking them and checking the similar apps.

Check it out.

I love to see M-Droid has been merged into the #fdroid repository. Unfortunately it has been done one year after the app has been abandoned. 🙄 While the idea and the motivation was good, the dev didn't have time any more to continue it. And react prevented other devs to join the project. 😟 @fdroidorg
