This is present in all apps in the playstore for serving ads. If you are running away from it you have to run from the entire internet. You want to live a life like the people in privacy sub reddit with that tin foil hat. For the developer to serve ads this is necessary.
I respect your opinion. For me it was super clunky. I tried every app for lemmy. The best one is sync for now. If there is a proper competition it will be boost for lemmy.
Dev has to somehow pay their bills. And for continuous support they need some kind of reward for their time and effort. Eventually other apps will be moved to subscription or they will just stop updating. These apps will still run because of ad support or subscription. Ads are actually non intrusive.
If you use private dns if on android then no ads in sync. I just saw this post and noticed there were no ads in my sync app. Then I remembered that I am using private dns for blocking ads. I might switch it on for supporting the dev. Because non intrusive ads are fine for a great lemmy experience. Now I am having the same experience of sync when I use reddit.
I was a reddit sync user. Same experience. Better than all other lemmy apps available now. Smooth and easy to use. Decently customisable.
So they can hide their stupidity?
Posting it from sync. Now I feel like I am a little bit closer to deleting my reddit account. I am still searching for one instance of lemmy with maximum freedom of speech without censorship, only blocks or defederate criminal instances, csam etc.
I also like enjoying the beauty of cute female teachers. But when they get angry they are really terrible. Cute angry monsters shouting at you.
There are people who don’t like NATO or outside the western world. Everyone has different opinions. Many of us are misinformed on a daily basis. Not everything we believe is true. And western governments are also good at propaganda and false news spreading.
Writing this from sync. Oh my god. The sync experience is back.
What is the point of having over positivity? Let’s have some discussion with those people and roast them. This is censorship. Any criminal activities then defederation is fine. Just because their opinions are not liked defederating for that?
Exactly feels the same. No free speech here. But lemmy.world rules says that this is not a free speech area. They have the decision to control what they want. I came to know about the rule just now. I didn’t read it until now and I can’t blame them.
So if I used a temporary email I cannot change my password anymore? I mean changing password needs email verification after logging into the account?
Non reddit users who will open the reddit links for information will now stop looking at it. They won’t go through the pain of signing up. Ad revenue loses for the idiots.
I don’t go and search for apps in playstore. I try based on looking at some discussion threads, forums or word of mouth etc. Only if I think that would be useful to me I will download it. Otherwise I wouldn’t even download it for trying.
That’s not how it works here. Cash is being used less and less. Everything is being done through digital transaction. Not talking about bank transfer, they are actual payment methods which are relatively easy compared to traditional online bank transaction which can be done through website.
I have both chrome and firefox installed. Uses firefox more along with ublock origin addon.
What happened to vlemmy, FMHy etc?
I think that Microsoft app has admin access to your phone. Otherwise it won’t be possible.
Dude. There are different types of ads. Small ad banners which don’t affect normal posts is not an issue for me. I am getting a good experience so this is the way I am going to pay for it.
A lot of them when the user base has grown, wasn’t sustainable and also got closed down and moved to subscription.
You can pay for subscription or use another app. It’s fine. Other devolopers who don’t charge a single bit now will change it in the future. Who is mad to support an app without getting any kind of benefit. There are some open-source developers who do that. Still.
