When the change of ownership happened about an year ago I stopped my automatic updates from Fdroid. Now that some time has passed I want to ask, have the new guy done anything suspicious? Have you tried the later vestions?

From my casual watching, it only got worse, we recently had this drama.

I have it frozen at the version installed before this happened, and haven't look into a replacement yet, but maybe syncthing tray could be a replacement?

Or just running syncthing in termux

Same, I have my version frozen as well. I've heard people have had some success running it in termux, however the app allows you to only sync when charging and on wifi which is why I've stuck with syncthing-fork.
