> F-Droid does the exact same thing. If the distributor - whoever they are - don't like you, they will ban you. Your only option is self-hosting APKs (Android only).

Interesting. In fact, that is actually a good point. Now you put it like that, self-hosting makes EVEN more sense. Apps like Discord does it with their desktop apps and Telegram does it with their Android APKs. I completely support this.

Now. Here's a very good question:

This is one of the reasons why F-Droid banned Gab, from their own quote from [0]:

'Things like racism, sexism, verbal abuse, violent nationalist propaganda, discrimination against gender and sexual minorities, antisemitism and a lot more things become popular on such instances.'

This same reason can be applied to Telegram. So why have they not taken a 'political stance' towards removing Telegram like they have also removed Gab?

The same applies for most of the social platforms. Especially for those with E2EE messages. By definition, content cannot be moderated on there.

It is rather diffucult area and the decisions are often made based on by the popularity and the variety of the users on the platfom . It is easy to ban an app which is mostly used by rightwing-extremists for example, but not the app which is used by everyone. So, what is the right way?
