Which app are you referring to? Bluesky?
Mainly I want to know so I can avoid it, although I'm already avoiding Bluesky.
I don't think BlueSky has ads. At least not yet. The dispute is mainly around the mobile Lemmy app Sync. Which is a mobile UI for lemmy that inserts ads into Lemmy where there previously were none.
Ah right, fair enough. I hadn't realised Sync was doing that - I've been lazy and stuck with Jerboa.
The website seems to generally be the best way to browse lemmy anyway, particularly with its continued development. Apps quite often dont' conform to things lemmy does, like automatically making instance agnostic links out of /c/fediverse@lemmy.ml, or the drop down box for typing a username and sending them a mention.
