      Probably. I have no experience with the Google Play Store end of things, but we’ve gotten non-reviews written by crackpots removed from our Google Business profile by just pointing out to Google that they were either off topic or from someone who we could not identify in any of our records as being a person who actually did business with us.

      For example, there was one guy who went around copy-pasting the same one star rant to seemingly every retail business in the city whining about mask requirements during COVID, which didn’t have jack monkey squat do to with us and was in fact a state government mandate that we did not control. As a public business we have to comply with the law. Google took that one down when we reported it, although I still see examples of the same screed from the same guy attached to other businesses who apparently didn’t have the wherewithal to complain.

      I imagine “app that serves third party content the author doesn’t control and reviewer is complaining about the content not the app” is a situation that is very well understood at Google. Whether or not you can make them give a shit is a different question…

    If he think Reddit hates his conservative views, he’d explode if he came here

              Probably yea, I used to be on a different instance under a different identity but your digital identity should always be pseudonymous and nomadic. Defed .world if needed. I’ll be fine :)

                Lemmy.world has the most conservatives because it has the most users

                If all instances defederated lemmy.world, it will probably stop being the most used, giving the title of instance with most conservatives to another instance

    I thought reddit killed third party apps? Or are you paying the $10,000,000 per month or whatever it is?

    That’s super dumb. Also, I thought there weren’t 3rd party Reddit apps anymore? Do you not still have to pay for the API?

      Third party apps with small users bases or ones that are used by people with disabilities (that have disability features) still work. For now. Also apps that allow for a read only view (meaning they can’t be used to sign in, write/post comments, or upvote/downvote) also still work I believe.

      There’s a few tricks around it. Web scraping, for example. I could also see like a webview portal with a custom layout
