What constitutes Usage Data. Is it sharing the posts I view, communities I subscribe to etc?
Does paying for a premium version stop this data being collected?

LJ was very adamant about not collecting or keeping any user data under the reddit regime. I’m happy giving him the benefit of the doubt here.
The point is we don’t formally know.
The dev has stated that the tracking is disabled if ads are disabled, and other users have confirmed that via duckduckgo.
Yea but does that prevent Google from getting that data via AdMob?
Removing ads via IAP or the Sync Ultra subscription eliminates that data sharing.
Per the dev, responding to my question in the discord server just now.
Why are the responses to all these questions happening in Discord rather than the official Sync Lemmy channel? 🤔
The Discord is just as official as this community?
Discord is a closed garden, it’s awful for things like this.
Discord is great for things like this. For simple questions, Discord is better than reddit or Lemmy.
Yes, i do enjoy searching my way through 5648 shit posts with the keyword of a problem i’m trying to solve.
So the only way you can avoid that is to ask the same question which was already answered 10 times by the same person over the last couple of weeks.
What a great way to troubleshoot
So why didn’t you search through the Sync community on Lemmy? This question was already answered there too. Or maybe you just assumed it wasn’t and didn’t bother looking?
Because it’s the official Discord, and it’s been around far longer than Sync for Lemmy? What kind of question is that even?
Because he’s busy? Not everyone is terminally online
There’s a discord?!

Btw pro tip: you can insert the literal meme as Lemmy supports image/gif posting ;)
This showing up right? It’s a tiny circle on kbin mobile. Sorry if I blew up your notifications while I tried figuring this out.

Blindly trusting someone are the people that usually fall for scams
“Benefit of the doubt” does not mean “blindly trust”…?
Listen you can do what you want if you feel your privacy is being violated, but this particular developer is not scamming anyone. He has an established history of not giving a fuck about your user data, which is backed up by other users verifying that the data tracking ends when ads are removed.

You can directly analyze the calls the app is making so you can fully verify it even without the source code.
Stop spreading technical misinformation.
Lol Whatever floats your boat 🤷♂️
Lol mr computer science engineer
Trusting someone based on your previous experience with them and or a reputation they’ve earned, however is one of the cornerstones of society.
So in other words, you’re making a blanket statement without any contextually relevant examples to support it. Almost like youre just fear mongering and don’t have an actual argument. Got it.
