Pre-registered for Boost since it was my go-to Reddit app. It released and auto-downloaded today, and I don't even feel like opening it after coming to like Connect so much.

Title basically says it. Connect offers all of the functions I'd chosen Boost for on Reddit, and there are pretty few bugs for me. Nice job folks.

"Contains ads" "In app purchases" "This app may share these data types with third parties" 👀
Basically profiteering off a free thing and sharing data without consent.
I choose connect because it doesn't do that, but tbf to devs, their time and work isn't "free" even if access to lemmy is
Well I'll be honest you shouldn't be putting ads in a free thing. Voyager and so many other clients get along just fine without 50 philipino dating ads (for some reason that's the only thing spammed to me)
That ignores the work the devs put into these apps. I appreciate the ones not running ads but we can't pretend that they're adding nothing
Ill be honest I couldn't care less. The fact they have shown NSFF ads is fucked as hell and really bad if it was shown to minors.
These things are the standard for apps nowadays; it's Connect and other Lemmy apps that are the outliers. I don't blame that dev for wanting some return on their work, but I am happy that we have so much choice in Lemmy apps that I can choose to use something else instead.
