Wdym anti features? The only thing fdroid does is take the developer APK, sign it themselves and release it. If any anti features exist (I assume you’re talking about the anti features tab in the fdroid app) it won’t make any difference where you obtain it as fdroid doesn’t do code checks. They only check to make sure it’s under a open source licence. Fdroid adds no protection to any apps and you trust them to ship clean packages. If you get packages from the developer and they sign it and it happens to be malicious it’s only one app instead of all your apps you have from fdroid. You trust them a lot and I’d recommend reading this if anyone is interested. https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/
Freedom from what? Good security practices? Open source does not equal security nor freedom. You’re pedaling digital politics instead of fact based privacy and security. Trust me I’d love my apps to be open source but ignoring blatant security issues is going to put someone at risk. You can’t have privacy without security and vice versa.
edit: like I mentioned previously, use obtainium and you can still use open source software
Open source gives you all the freedoms that free software gives. So it factually equates.
You are also spreading the misinformation that F-Droid guarantees that the software there is 100% libre even when it is an external repo. Totally wrong.
You are trying to tell me that caring about free software is misinformation now?
When did I say that? Are you stupid?
You can’t convince people when you are just repeating what Stallman says without understanding it.

F-droid rejects any code that doesn’t respect you basic freedom.

Open source doesn’t equate to free software (as in libre)
You are seriously lost. Stop spreading misinformation
I’m sorry, what? You are trying to tell me that caring about free software is misinformation now? You can read about why open source misses the point here https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.en.html
I respect your option but calling anything you disagree with misinformation is unprofessional at best.
