I haven’t read the whole thread but I don’t see any fixes which address the security issues with F-Droid, only someone who made a case for why they like F-Droid despite those existing issues.
This is in response to the fact PrivSec recommended Droid-ify (and now NeoStore) instead of F-Droid Basic in another article. Nowhere is there any indication that their security concerns have been addressed.
Not to sound rude but unless you accidentally sent the wrong comments, this is looking like a low effort response where you’re not even reading your own sources.
To avoid an unproductive back and fourth I’ll acknowledge that there are ways the user can make better use of F-Droid and there are a few good qualities to F-Droid, but none of that seems to negate most of its security issues and most people who use F-Droid will not follow said best practices.
