Been using Boost since it was a Reddit client. By default, it is my go to.

Maybe but you've done the transition to Lemmy try to use a libre client

I'm all for Libre but in this case @rmayayo@lemmyworld is my leader.

He is the dev who made Boost.

Why does he done it with ads?

[–] nicgentile@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Support his development. I will pay to remove the ads at some point when I am not being lazy. Many people like him because he listens, makes changes, has tremendous support and so on. Not to say that others don't but that is just how we roll.

I'm okay with him earning money to live, but put ads is absolutely not something to do. Donate to him, etc. But you shouldn't use an app with ads

[–] nicgentile@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Been this way for many years. Ads don't bother me. And if its continuous help, then we roll with it. But someday I may do the thing.

[–] foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

It's not purely the ads that bother me, it's the company behind it, to integer ads you have to use google, meta scripts. Big problem for privacy

100% this. Boost is great
