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!"

[–] llii@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 days ago

At least they show what they think of women.

[–] stinerman@midwest.social 116 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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!

[–] CurlyWurlies4All@slrpnk.net 47 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (8 children)

'Targeted advertising' is shockingly untargeted. As the underpinning of our digital economy, the value of online advertising is dangerously overinflated.

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 18 points 4 days ago

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

Could you imagine the carnage in tech stocks if corporations realized ads are dogshit?

If only someone finally forced iOS to be open for other stores

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You could just use something that isn't iOS

Droid-ify is also great.

WTF is that last search result though 🫣

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.

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

“….without discriminating on the basis of political ideology.”

Isn’t discrimination like, the entire purpose of what Truth Social is about?

[–] renzev@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Shhh... They don't want their feelings hurt.

[–] viking@infosec.pub 3 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] Anti_Face_Weapon@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (7 children)

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.

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. 🤔

[–] danciestlobster@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago

I mean the woman posting there identifies herself as a follower, seems on brand for the platform

[–] MiDaBa@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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?

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

In stead of "ad free photo sharing" you get "photo free ad sharing"

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 days ago

Also truth free.

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).

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.

[–] QualifiedKitten@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (6 children)

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.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

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.

iOS vs Android, and region I expect. Although I’m in the UK, and I can’t imagine it’s that popular here.

Oh wow, they’re almost identical. That may come back to bite Dan on the ass.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 17 points 4 days ago (5 children)

Eh, it's different enough and they're in different markets anyway. Theirs is rounded at the bottom but Pixelfed's is straight.

[–] mipadaitu@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

Pixelfed's is straight

Not the way I use it

Why would you want what you searched for when instead you could have ads and fascist propaganda?

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Well it's an ad, so capitalism will get an edge
