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?
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.
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.
When stupid decision are made here in my country, I think we are the biggest idiots in the world. But watching this kind of news shows that entire world is getting dumb.
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.
What happened to vlemmy, FMHy etc?
I think that Microsoft app has admin access to your phone. Otherwise it won’t be possible.
I haven’t stopped using reddit. But starting to use lemmy more on a daily basis as my page starts to show contents that I am interested in. Reddit will be also used along with it until it’s demise. Not planning again to move to a centralised system for reddit like experience. Lemmy is the place I am going to settle. I will encourage people to be here. Those other places like squabbles, tildes, discuit etc can go down anytime. There will be atleast some people here in lemmy, atleast the hardcore ones who support alternatives like lemmy. Because it is not in the control of one person or centralised authority.
So whatever you install on your personal profile is affecting your work profile? Does that Microsoft intune have admin access?
I miss the rooting era before google safety net. I rely on a lot of banking apps and other stuffs that require safetynet. Even though they are tricks to hide root and bootloader status, it is pain in the ass. Fuck I can’t do whatever I want on my phone right now. If there was no safetynet my phone will be running pixel experience or lineage os.
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.
