For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/gossip

Shitty app developers who integrate ads to make money when displaying other people's content.
Its not lemmy, but their App. Yes, there are some closed source lemmy Apps that for some reason exist, which are (in this case) just Clones of other Apps like jerboa.
Sync was actually a closed source client for Reddit that pivoted to Lemmy after the API changes. Still saves images to a folder called reddit_sync, even.
Where did you hear it's a jerboa clone?
Tell me you dont see the similarities. The menu alone is just the same
why are you using an app with ads
They're not obnoxious and I used this app before Reddit got shite, and it has some great polish. Havent tested the FOSS apps for ages tho
There is no such thing as a not-obnoxious advertisement. When you tolerate ads, you're downloading capitalism.
Failing to block ads is like that except instead of cool devil Lenin it's biblically accurate Kissinger.
Thunder is pretty good, no ads
I'll take a look. Jerboa is a lot better nowadays having just tried it.
The hell? My sync app looks like this:
You're on light mode I guess? Otherwise looks the same. The ads are some google ads plugin so I guess it's picked up me searching about it on google by accident at some point (I usually use duckduckgo)
Switch to voyager, no ads.
Remember when KissAnime died.
