mariusafa,

Use F-Droid, Google store is a malware vendor at this point.

I take it schools aren’t teaching tech literacy. We wouldn’t want the kids to get in the way of our overlord marketing agencies.

MiddledAgedGuy,

I wonder if they ever really have? When I was in school they taught you how to use a computer, but not what the computer was doing or how it worked.

I’m not too connected to the educational sector anymore but anecdotally it seems like becoming tech literate has a growing stigma (it’s always had a stigma). Happily ignoring what it’s doing while it’s actively abusing you.

Maggoty,

I recommend ignoring update requests when they pop up. It’s not just Boost, I’ve seen so many of those kids of ads now that I just go check for updates through the system.

Dehydrated,

What about just not using a proprietary client for an open source social media platform? You’ll find amazing FOSS Lemmy clients as well as a whole lot of other FOSS software on F-Droid. It’s the best source for Android apps. Thunder is my personal favorite.

hunt4peas,

I am using Voyager & Eternity and both have no ads.

I’m reading this on Boost (once off payment) and no ads…

fox2263,

Good god I thought that was my client for a moment. Almost uninstalled before realising it was an image.

Phew

superbirra,

Sync is the only option for me

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

I’m using Sync but pretty disappointed we still can’t post using it

You can definitely post on Sync…

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

Oh look at that. Must’ve been added in an update without me noticing. Woohoo!

superbirra,

Personally I like Connect even though it’s not FOSS because it’s layout is similar to RiF.

0ops,

I didn’t even realize that it wasn’t, tbh. There’s no ads or purchases or anything

kumatomic,

Ads in the feed now? Yikes, that’s reason enough for me to switch before I’m forced to update it.

risencode,

Thanks for the warning, switching to Jerboa.

rando,

Voyager, eternity, jerboa in that order

turbulentMagma,

Use foss apps

shasta,

Connect does not have ads
