“Even are ads are private…”

I don’t think that’s possible. Modern advertisers require those sweet sweet metrics, which can never be truly anonymized, and in most cases attempts to anonymize are half-hearted at best.

Well... you can just subscribe for a month, cancel it immediately, and try it for month The thing that annoys me more is the Apple dependency/tax ; i'd rather pay the Developer directly, in cases where they offer this on their own website (i always check.)

For developers the "Apple tax" is easier. They don't need to deal with refunds or customer complaints about payments not working.

For developers the “Apple tax” is a forced tax slurping up a big portion of our income.

Are there any "all in one apps" like this? That's the first one I ever saw. I've been wondering for years now, why ain't anyone trying it. The unified timeline is the whole point. However, for me, this app gets two things wrong: 1) I'd also want IM feeds on the same timeline. Like, Messenger, Teams, WhatsApp, etc. I know it's probably impossible due to how obstructionist and anti-user the chat vendors are, but I keep…

> I'd also want IM feeds on the same timeline. Like, Messenger, Teams, WhatsApp, etc. Chats: yes. Because each separate chat is a separate room, and ultimately, for a personal use, there are not that many of them. Feeds from social media though? A hard pass. Especially now, when so many people cross-post the same content to multiple networks.

Feels like a solvable problem. Do a string comparison and then just put multiple icons next to the post.

Would only be interesting with Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, etc. support. ToS prevent that, so no business would attempt that integration. However, that doesn't mean it can't be done. I look forward to (and might write my own) agent to "read" Twitter, Instagram, etc. and put them into a user friendly and ad-free format.

Big statement, maybe for you but for plenty people it seems to be interesting enough without those.

Could you not write your own connector to do this for yourself?
