When I see an ad to that, I download it on an old device, then uninstall it and give it a 2 star review.
I appreciate your dedication
Americas big tent
Fuck. For a second there I thought it was an ad in Lemmy, and was enraged that this shit was pushed. Don’t scare me like that
There’s a 99.9% chance those screenshots of the app in the App Store listing are fake considering there’s no antisemitism in those posts at all. 🤔
I mean the woman posting there identifies herself as a follower, seems on brand for the platform
I like how they expertly hide the fact that it’s nazi propaganda and the photos are like “uh, here’s some pictures of plants! It’s uh, people share uh, gardening tips yeah!”
At least they show what they think of women.
“….without discriminating on the basis of political ideology.”
Isn’t discrimination like, the entire purpose of what Truth Social is about?
The type of people that truth social is designed for (conservatives, rightists, fascists) are often shunned for discriminating against minorities. Here they’re trying to pull a “no u”, to say that akshually we’re the ones who are discriminated against in mainstream media, and we’re gonna build our own platform with no discrimination, making us more virtuous than you. They don’t believe they actually have less discrimination, to them “discrimination” is a playing token in the game of morals. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that it doesn’t matter whether or not they believe they have less discrimination, because having less discrimination was never the goal. The card says moops.
If you read the reviews on the play store, it seems like people get banned left and right for posting factual truth. So much for “freedom of speech”. Not like anyone expected that in the first place from a fascist echo chamber, but hey.
They should be taken down for false advertisement etc. You don’t get to claim not to discriminate on political ideology if you also censor and delist posts that you disagree with.
The democrats lacked the tenacity to ever have done it, and the criminal enterprise that currently infest our government would never cease the hardworking blowhards that fervently feed their wind-tunnel.

Oh wow, cry harder. Only reason you hear about conservatives wanting to taste liberal tears is because they’re tied of the taste of their own.

Are you…still crying?
The Democrats have their problems. And they are many. Yet oddly bear little to no resemblance to all the bull the Republicans accuse them of.
As for me, I know I have no friends in Washington. So I couldn’t possibly care any less about your pretty little list of bullshit from your previous comment…
The DNC and the RNC bear a remarkable resemblance on any subject that involves corporations, their biggest donors.

Subjectively, I meant- use their authority to take them (Truth Social) down.
Shhh… They don’t want their feelings hurt.
Anybody whose been plant-based and/or vegan for some time can vouch that targeted ads very frequently are not about what’s actually relevant to the user, but more what their favorite corporate partners can try to gaslight you into believing is relevant. On both Facebook and YouTube I would get so many more ads and video results for animal products after making the switch, despite seeking out solely pb/vegan content and actively blocking and suppressing animal abuse content.
Charge your phone
Why would you want what you searched for when instead you could have ads and fascist propaganda?
This is why we gotta ban TikTok!!! \s
Same thing happened to me. I went to download Pixelfed yesterday after deleting instagram finally. Truth Social came up first.
By “big tent” they must mean a circus tent.
Also on iPhone, got Red Note ad instead. I wonder if it’s regional or if it’s kinda random?
Edit: I refreshed and now it’s Snapchat.
Edit: refreshed, it’s now AOL hahaha
You’ve got mail! <3
Don’t know if it works on iOS, but in Android you can block ads systemwide by setting your DNS server to dns.adguard-dns.com.
Note that this may occasionally interfere with things. I was having trouble with in-flight WiFi last time I flew, and I once I switched the Private DNS setting back to Automatic, it suddenly worked.
True. Public wifi doesn’t like it when you use your own DNS servers cause it makes it slightly harder for them to spy on you and inject ads into web pages.
Thankfully all you gotta to is switch the DNS setting to Off (or Automatic), then re-enable it when you’re home. Takes 10 seconds.
The main reason I mention it is that it’s super easy to set up, even for someone not very techy, but since it’s hidden in the settings, the non-techy person is probably going to completely forget about it and have no clue what to do when the public WiFi doesn’t work.
Same with googling things and clicking on the first few links because they’re advertisement links
DuckDuckGo, my netizen. Google search is all AI slop and ads now.
The point wasn’t about how cool the search engine was. It was to highlight another maybe unexpected side effect of blocking the dns. Begone
Oh yeah, I definitely forgot about that since I’ve had that “problem” for as long as I can remember due to using AdAway (via root), which I would never recommend to someone who wasnt already somewhat technically inclined.
No thanks.
I’m using AdAway for systemwide adblocking but it doesn’t block sponsored apps in Play Store. Can Adguard DNS block these?
By the way, the official Pixelfed app on the Play Store seems to have Google AdMob integrated if you care about that kind of thing. I’d recommend installing Pixelix or PixelDroid from the official F-Droid repositories instead.
The official pixelfed app has a repo on f-droid, you can install it via the QR code in the download link on the pixelfed website
Does the F-Droid version not ship with Google AdMob?
Not sure how I’d go about checking that, it isn’t listed as an anti-feature, but neither is anything else since there’s no description on f-droid
Does it have a dark mode? I used the website mostly which is alright, but tried the app when they announced it a couple days ago, and that was my first issue.
Pixelix and PixelDroid both have a dark mode.
Excellent, thanks!
No problem!
