re devs using libraries for... no good reason?
I just noticed during the that the client on F-droid is no longer supported on android < version 6. I can't even express in words how bad this feels on so many levels.

Forcing people to acquire new devices creates electronic junk, promotes exploitation of humans and limited physical resources.

There may be some kind of valid reason for the version bump, if I find time I might look at the commit log and see if it is documented.

So the commit message for the commit that denies access to the app for Android versions lower than 6 is:

"android: bump minimum API level to 23

Android < 23 is currently less than 3% for us so let's try to lower the
maintenance burden. Users can still download an older version no problem."

I wonder where they get their stats from.
