I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync’s developer, Lemmy’s developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home instance up will accelerate the incredible growth of lemmy!
That was my bigger issue along with the GDPR compliance. The dev has said that clicking do not consent turns off consent but we’ve all see sites and apps where “legitimate interest” is skipped when you remove consent. That and the data that’s collected seems a bit opaque. Now, I know these types of advertising platforms are often drop in solutions so it’s possible the Dev just doesn’t know that side. That being said they should be aware of these things when on a heavily FOSS skewed platform like this. The Dev seems responsive so I imagine this will all be smoothed out in future.
