If you enjoy using Mastodon for Android, please consider leaving a positive rating or review on the Play Store, because a lot of people who do leave reviews are like this:

@Gargron As far as I remember you can just ask them to get rid of reviews like those that got nothing to do with the app itself and they'll then scrub them.

Probably worth a try for those…

@ladon @Gargron yes but realistically the Google play store reviewers are not going to understand the difference between the app and a server

@thibaultmol @Gargron

sure, but at least you can prevent them from dragging down the rating of the app with those reviews, since they got noting to do with the status of the app itself.

Probably a bit of work to flag them all to Google but might be worth.

@ladon i mean yeah but... Google very much does not give a s***.

Their Google play store reviewing is bad let alone the reviewing of their reviews.

I have been someone who has reported various things of this nature before and I've kind of lost my patience and do more useful things of my time now

@thibaultmol It's different if you're the owner of the app as far as I remember.

If you flag them as malicious/inappropriate via Play Console they’ll get rid of them (at least in my work related experience from a year or so ago).

But yeah I agree, they don’t give a hoot if you as normal user report those…

@thibaultmol @ladon maybe leave a bad review for GMAIL: you get lots of spam & bills, and your friends don't even use email anymore
