Temu "surprised" by the lawsuit, plans to "vigorously defend" itself.

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

                Why does he done it with ads?

                  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

      by “client” do you mean “just use a browser”?

        Or, you know, the 98% of clients that don’t have ads. I, for one, recommend Voyager.

        Maybe but not only, for phone I recommend an app that’s much more optimized for using on mobile

          Lemmy website is fine on mobile imo. Not perfect but usable and optimized.

      You can pay just a few dollars to remove the ads from Boost.

        Bro why using Lemmy if it’s for using proprietary client? Voyager, Jerboa, you have others choice…

          Ask the 100,000 people that downloaded Boost, not me.

            Probably people who have been using Boost for Reddit before and now want the same experience but for Lemmy
