There aren’t any ad-services profiling you

There's no way to know that.

There is a way of knowing that. You can choose from a variety of open source apps that just don't contain tracking code.

No stealing your address book, no logging your GPS position, no snooping on your list of installed apps, no profiling your scrolling speed and which post you spend more seconds reading.

For the server part, the upstream code io open source and has no ad-trackers of that kind. Since you get to pick your instance you have a chance of hopefully going with one you trust not to have added them in afterwards.
