Sync tracking attempts

Sync tracking attempts - Lemmy.world

So this seems like a pretty intense level of tracking. Certainly much more than any of the other lemmy apps I have tried. I get advertisements, totally fine with them earning money, but it took me by surpise. If I look at the privacy policy, it certainly does not indicate to me this level of monitoring. For the record, I am not implying deception on the devs part at all, I am sure things are spelled our correctly in the privacy policy. Just wasn’t sure everone was aware of the extent. Cheers!

Remove ads, problem solved.

For those who don’t want to pay to remove ads, there’s always some pretty great open-source alternatives. Sync is the only app so far to truly care about foldable phones and I wanted to support the dev, so I paid to remove ads but I understand why others might be apprehensive.

AFAIK there will be an option to remove ads completely using revanced manager soon, but if you can afford to support the dev by paying for it, it’s better to do so instead.

I agree if you like the app, support the dev by paying for it. Which after playing around with it more I belive I will be doing.

I do feel bad if DDG blocker is stopping his ads from reporting in, thus stopping his source of income. Definitely not my intention.
