It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

As far as I understand it, the pop up about consenting to user data being used is for the standardised Google ads, which most android apps with built in ads use. If you use a system wide adblocker or pay for the application, the pop up about user data does not appear because the Google advertising SDK is never initialised. I have tried the app, and did not get the pop up about user data as I use DNS level Adblock.
If people aren't a fan of Google's advertising network (I'm certainly not), they should already be using Adblock and blocking trackers, or only using FOSS apps on a degoogled android device. Because Google's ads are literally everywhere. This is far from the only application on Android or iOS implementing Google's advertising network to make money.
The Lemmy world admins are obviously in the wrong here though. I understand what they want to do (make the website more appealing to 'normal' people), but I heavily disagree with the approach. I think most people are capable of discussing these issues given that they are adequately informed.
