We regret to inform you that Mastodon has decided to leave the F-Droid Reproducible Builds project.
Going forward, Mastodon updates on F-Droid will be maintained by the F-Droid team and signed with an unique per-app key generated by F-Droid.
If you installed Mastodon through F-Droid, please uninstall and reinstall it to keep receiving updates.

•this whole drama actually went down exactly because F-Droid distributed the developer signed version at the beginning, but for this to work, F-Droid needs a reference APK that complies with F-Droid policy, which then in turn became to much work for the Mastodon team to upload, so they asked to get switched to the F-Droid owned signing key.
In other words: F-Droid tries their best, but sometimes upstream developers won't/can't cooperate
