Apple is probably pushing that Ad free of charge. Considering how quickly Tim preemptively bent the knee just on the chance it would benefit him and the shareholders is obscene. I've always known Tim only cared about money. After all, that's the only thing he did better than Steve Jobs. Now I know for sure that he's a worthless selfish waste of a human being.

ooh is that the new iPhone?
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
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.
This is why we gotta ban TikTok!!!! \s
This is top level enshittification. You're showing the user an ad that is, as OP says, the opposite of what they want, and then charging Truth Social for the impression. Magnificent!
See also every single sponsored ad on my Instagram.
'Targeted advertising' is shockingly untargeted. As the underpinning of our digital economy, the value of online advertising is dangerously overinflated.
I occasionally buy tools, and damn right I research them until I know they're "buy it for life" quality
Then I spend the next few weeks getting bombarded by ads for a tool I will never ever buy
What store is this?
Droid-ify client, which is an alternative client for F-Droid.
If you've never used F-droid, give it a go: https://f-droid.org/en/about/. It's a FOSS package manager for Android and nothing more. All it does is host, install, update, and manage applications. No ads, no sponsored suggestions, no ranking. It has strict submission requirements, only serves FOSS apps, and prominently lists apps' "anti-features" (tracking, reliance on third-party services, things you may not like).
It looks like Droid-ify to me
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!"
Aurora rules. (and doesn't track you)
Droid-ify is also great.
WTF is that last search result though 🫣
If only someone finally forced iOS to be open for other stores
You could just use something that isn't iOS
Louis Rossmann made a good Video about this. TL;Dr: when some company does something shitty, instead of just fleeing to the next big company and hoping that they will not do the same and blaming everyone who is still using their stuff of the old company, you need to actually fight back against the company doing it. Privacy oriented people are few and far beetween, so the „Voting with you wallet” thing will not even make a .01 mark on their revenue
I see this in Australia.
iOS vs Android, and region I expect. Although I’m in the UK, and I can’t imagine it’s that popular here.
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.
“….without discriminating on the basis of political ideology.”
Isn’t discrimination like, the entire purpose of what Truth Social is about?
I didn’t realize til now the logo looks just like polyend
Oh wow, they’re almost identical. That may come back to bite Dan on the ass.
Eh, it's different enough and they're in different markets anyway. Theirs is rounded at the bottom but Pixelfed's is straight.
Pixelfed's is straight
Not the way I use it
IANAL but I reckon there’s enough similarity for Polyend to consider chatting to their legal team. The Pixelfed logo is also actually (inverse) black on the apps, similar to the point where they’re just about the same if you squint.
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
Maybe it's because I block most ads on my network, but I don't see any ad when searching for this app on android.
I get an ad for a crypto app! (Canada).
I do have my privacy settings locked down, so they are listing non-targeted ads.
