But it contains ads...? And sends information to third party apps? What is that?
given the nature of the fediverse and what we just escaped from, I'm not sure I'd be willing to sacrifice my newfound freedom from that kind of stuff. but I'll try them all.
It's probably identical to the reddit version. The app has ads with a one-time $5 no-ads payment and a donation button for further support. If I had to guess, I'd say the "third-party apps" are stuff like Google Pay and Samsung Pay, but don't quote me on that.
If you think about it all these apps that are popping up out of nowhere for kbin and lemmy and in alpha stage etc.. Boost Rif and all the other ones are prime third-party apps. people that have used them know you probably have to pay $5 or so to unlock its full potentinal. all these newer apps don't have any footing like the big ones do so they are letting you test them out for now but once they get big they will post something like. we have more features but you have to pay $5 all the apps are like this. When i first used apollo and alien blue you had to pay like $6 just to post and everything else was extra. Just saying its only a matter of time. Hopefully it won't come to that but don't be suprised if they do. Just be prepared for anything
