KDE supports the "Keep Android Open" campaign (keepandroidopen.org)

#Google will cut off independent developers to #Android if they do not register with Google first. This will kill independent platforms like @fdroidorg@floss.social and severely impede FLOSS devs from creating apps for Android.

Many KDE apps are deployed for Android: KDE Connect, Itinerary, Tokodon, and there's even a test version of Krita for Android.

KDE calls on Google to reverse course and @keepandroidopen@techhub.social.

We seriously need more alternatives to Android

We need more OSes that support cheap phones available in third world countries instead of mid-range phones in first world countries.

Support Sailfish OS.

Sailfish is great if you live in Europe and are able to buy a Sony phone. I used it for a few years in the UK and I’d love to continue to use it in Australia, but Telstra has decided to disable phones bought overseas; Sony doesn’t directly sell phones here, so I’m out of luck😢
