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.
Hope this works but here’s what ddg is showing me was blocked. Only Google attempted to track and it was only once before I purchased ultra. Basically everything Google already knows about anyone using android.
TIL the DuckDuckGo app protection, thanks!
What’s that app you’re using to see that info?
It’s duckduckgo private browser. It does more than just browsing, there’s an app tracking protection feature.
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.
Because he’s busy? Not everyone is terminally online
There’s a discord?!

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.
Lol Whatever floats your boat 🤷♂️
Lol mr computer science engineer
There’s nothing blind about it. I can see what trackers are being attempted on each app on my phone and sync stopped as soon as I purchased ultra.
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.
