Has anyone noticed that apps on F-Droid or that you just get from GitHub are just better than the ultra-popular apps on the play store? Most of them are open source and have no ads or trackers. But this isn’t true on the Play Store at all.
I see myself always getting apps from F-Droid now because there is always an alternative to the ad-infested bloated privacy infesting BS that I find on the play store. It’s unfortunate that it’s gotten this bad, where the only reason I even use the play store is to install updates or games.
Agreed. Although I’m pleased to see them survive through this, I really hoped they’d make a Lemmy client. As a platform, this just makes more sense.
Seems so bizzare though and contradictory. Like not wanting to use the official reddit app that is free and not restricted, but too addicted to reddit to quit that they are willing to pay a subscription to be able to continue to reddit on the app they want. That’s like a super hardcore reddit addict more than regular users who scoffed at the idea of a boycott.
Haha, funny and sad at the same time. Apart from addiction though, the sentiment to support the developer who had worked so hard to bring to app to them might be at play too. I know many users who are willing to either donate to the Infinity dev directly and patch the apk for themselves, or pay the subscription cost only if it has a profit margin for the dev. Nobody wants to pay reddit.
Hahahahahaha
Oh you’re serious
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
To me someone paying monthly to continue posting on reddit through a third party app because they are too addicted to quit is more ridiculous than using the official app. At that point they are participating and adding content that increases engagement on reddit. There’s no stance of being anti reddit at that point. They are officially a reddit addict. So yeah, I do look down on them more than official reddit app users.
