I was gonna say, no fucking way would I touch an app with ads, that's why I'm here in the first place.

I know right! That's genuinely the whole damn point of the fediverse - freedom from being exploited and monetised.

I'd never subject myself to ads on Lemmy, no matter how good the client is.

For this freedom we do of course rely on the generosity of those who pay the server bills, for which I'm eternally grateful.

I left Reddit for this app. I paid to remove ads once 10 years ago and I don't mind doing it again tbh.
