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.

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. ๐Ÿค”

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

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.

I refuse to believe this is real

It's literally an ad? You can choose which search terms your ad appears for

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 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

Does the F-Droid version not ship with Google AdMob?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Pixelix and PixelDroid both have a dark mode.
