    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!”

          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

    “….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.

      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.

          By the end of 2021, Facebook, YouTube, and Amazon changed their content moderation policies in ways that were directly responsive to criticism from the Biden Administration.

          After reviewing tens of thousands of emails and nonpublic documents between the Biden White House and Big Tech, the Committee’s report reveals:

          • Big Tech changed their content moderation policies because of the Biden White House

          • The Biden White House’s censorship targeted true information, satire, and other content that did not violate the platforms’ policies

          • The Biden White House’s censorship campaign had a chilling effect on other speech

          • The White House had leverage because the companies had other policy concerns involving the Biden Administration

          • The Biden White House pushed censorship of books, not just social media

      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.

    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.

      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

            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.

      I’m using AdAway for systemwide adblocking but it doesn’t block sponsored apps in Play Store. Can Adguard DNS block these?

    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.

    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. 🤔

    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.
