The new owner of the repo has a fresh github account and apparently has the signing keys from Catfriend1 too.

Time will tell if they are trustworthy, but for the extra paranoid it might make sense to pause updates for a while.

What's wrong with original Syncthing? Why would anyone use a fork?

    First up, this fork is specifically about the Android client, not any other ones.

    The fork of that always had some nice mobile battery saving features added, but morr importantly, the original version has been discontinued.
