MODERATORS
 

Adding reviews with political opinions might remove the review.

So it might be best to just rate it based on features if you write something, or just rate the apps without text at all.

Imo fake positive reviews are more effective than negative reviews

Posting a 5 star "this app finally helped me connect with fellow racists" will likely help more since it is less likely to be removed by Google for review bombing.

Review bombing is an act of terrorism, like any other bombing /s

We can also review our favourite Lemmy client.

I suppose I should have tried mastodon by now but the Twitter/bluesky type platforms never appealed to me.

Imo mastodon feels a bit jankier than lemmy.

Bluesky is pretty cool. It's like twitter except it's not completely deranged

I won't review software..these are billion dollar companies, they will never have your best interest in mind.

Apple and Google do not own Facebook and Twitter so they do not have a conflict of interest.

Zuckerberg and Musk would rather have high reviews than low. Rate them low for having poor moderation practices that ruin the experience for everyone.

I agree, so how would you rate a company that treats you bad? Or a company that has a bad influence on the world?
