The first thing is to reject these “App stores”.
If you are on Google or Apple App store, you are already a hostage to the ISIS terrorists like US big tech companies.
Gab is not on any App store. In fact you don't even need an App to browse or sign up on Gab and it works fine, save for the recent massive spike in web traffic and new sign ups, which slowed down response times. Having a huge spike in users is a good problem to have for any company. They have largely gotten under control for the most part.
If you gotta make an app, then put the app on your web site so people can download it from your own web site. D
DON”T host it on AWS or Google or any of the big tech terrorists.
As far as hosting your web site is concerned, you either build your own servers (like Gab) or cloud servers based in Mexico or Russia, Poland Hungary or any of what I call the free countries.
Under no circumstances should any conservative app or web site use any of the terrorist US big tech companies.s

All good advice.

I’ve developed droid and iOS apps. At one point it made sense to develop apps for certain types of services but with todays web based tech that has changed.

Coming soon - The Linux* phones. The Linux phones you would buy:)

Poland might be the one I would trust the most.
