Open source Minecraft mod platform Modrinth goes indie, returns funds to investors

Tone, linguistics, semantics. These are a few of my favourite things. Failures to communicate? One of my least favourite things, which happens way too often in the open source space.
I agree about the "Possibly unsafe" messaging. Both Apple and Google just inform you that the app uses certain permissions to gain access to certain features. #flathub should inform the user just that.
In regards to verification, anything not #opensource should get a yellow badge. Outdated Flatpaks should be red.
