#ethicaltelemetry — Public Fediverse posts

What are people's thoughts on "#ethicaltelemetry"?

I'm making a simple app with the purpose of releasing it on the Play store, FDroid, etc.

And I want to track:
- #Anonymized install count
- source of install(#Source built, Bleeding Edge, #fdroid and #playstore)

(I have a way to track source built/play store/fdroid already but no way to get the #data off-device)

I'm quite new to the whole scene so I'm asking here:
- How do I do it in a way that doesn't piss people off? (ofc target market doesn't care but still)
- I also want to ensure the telemetry method works on phones as #old as possible, like #android 4.0 api 16, if possible
- How do I #protect myself from some kid figuring out my telemetry method and spamming it with bots?

Intro screen -> Opt in/opt out(with red warning explaining how much it'll help us to have those stats) -> button at the bottom after all the checks called "Login" leading to Login.kt fragment.

I'm thinking of something like this but I still have no idea how to #collect this info
