I mean, that's literally the opposite of what I want

This is top level enshittification. You're showing the user an ad that is, as OP says, the opposite of what they want, and then charging Truth Social for the impression. Magnificent!

I like how they expertly hide the fact that it's nazi propaganda and the photos are like "uh, here's some pictures of plants! It's uh, people share uh, gardening tips yeah!"

Aurora rules. (and doesn't track you)

I see this in Australia.

Don't know if it works on iOS, but in Android you can block ads systemwide by setting your DNS server to dns.adguard-dns.com.

“….without discriminating on the basis of political ideology.”

Isn’t discrimination like, the entire purpose of what Truth Social is about?

I didn’t realize til now the logo looks just like polyend

In stead of "ad free photo sharing" you get "photo free ad sharing"

By the way, the official Pixelfed app on the Play Store seems to have Google AdMob integrated if you care about that kind of thing. I'd recommend installing Pixelix or PixelDroid from the official F-Droid repositories instead.

Maybe it's because I block most ads on my network, but I don't see any ad when searching for this app on android.

I get an ad for a crypto app! (Canada).

I do have my privacy settings locked down, so they are listing non-targeted ads.

Apple is probably pushing that Ad free of charge. Considering how quickly Tim preemptively bent the knee just on the chance it would benefit him and the shareholders is obscene. I've always known Tim only cared about money. After all, that's the only thing he did better than Steve Jobs. Now I know for sure that he's a worthless selfish waste of a human being.

I love how they have to advertise exactly what that social media (TS) isn't, a big tent social media platform. I'm sure the rubes eat it up.

There's a 99.9% chance those screenshots of the app in the App Store listing are fake considering there's no antisemitism in those posts at all. 🤔

Fuck. For a second there I thought it was an ad in Lemmy, and was enraged that this shit was pushed. Don't scare me like that

Why would you want what you searched for when instead you could have ads and fascist propaganda?

I hope that AD is pay per view and not pay per click

I refuse to believe this is real

Well Truth Social a siloed Mastodon instance

"Simplicity is key, a good cut of beef, salt, pepper and olive oil". Ironically I suspect that, despite it being steak and being posted by a woman talking about cooking, such a post would still cop a lot of flack and trigger a lot of the type of people that would choose to use Truth Social because of the mention of seed oil over animal fat.

Apple thinks I’m a nerd (and they’re right) lol.

By “big tent” they must mean a circus tent.

Anybody whose been plant-based and/or vegan for some time can vouch that targeted ads very frequently are not about what's actually relevant to the user, but more what their favorite corporate partners can try to gaslight you into believing is relevant. On both Facebook and YouTube I would get so many more ads and video results for animal products after making the switch, despite seeking out solely pb/vegan content and actively blocking and suppressing animal abuse content.

I'm in the US and when I search the Play store for "pixelfed" I get Pixelfed as the first result; Truth Social is nowhere on the list of results for me

This was my result:

Americas big tent

Well it's an ad, so capitalism will get an edge

i got Rednote, which is the other opposite of what I want

Truth social is based on mastodon so its close enough

Same thing happened to me. I went to download Pixelfed yesterday after deleting instagram finally. Truth Social came up first.

This is why we gotta ban TikTok!!!! \s
