It's not just init.d that exists, alternative init systems such as dinit and OpenRC are a thing. The general complaint about systemd is that it's too heavy and complicated for something as simple as an init system, and it has already gone way beyond that.

This does not only increase the attack surface of a Linux system drastically, giving way to exploits and potentially backdoors, but it also puts too much power in a piece of software's hands as more and more things start depending on it.

And systemd is not even needed to create a user-friendly Linux system anyway. Chimera Linux with GNOME would be as smooth an experience as Fedora Linux if only it had more software in its repositories and PackageKit support.

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

I think I am, yeah. Edited the original reply now to turn it into a sidenote :D

Your statement seems to be inaccurate. 16% of black voters and 43% of latino voters in the U.S. voted for Trump. If we go by your logic, which seems to be that "People who didn't vote Republican don't need to hear this advice.", then this post applies to all ethnic groups in the country, especially if the Trump administration does go looking for every unregistered immigrant in the U.S., and they do this by knocking on people's doors out in the street instead of using the advanced surveillance tools that they and the big-tech possess.

Pixelix and PixelDroid both have a dark mode.

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.
