You are talking as if Sync dev went and plastered ads all over Lemmy web app, Voyager, Infinity, Connect, Thunder etc.
Those are still ad-free, so people who love them can continue using them. Those who want to pay Sync can pay Sync. Lemmy platform remains unchanged. What's the problem?
I do enjoy Sync and I hope to continue to. I ain't mad but you seem to be, I just don't understand why.
If people like something, they are always owed it, in it's fullest form, totally free of charge! Devs can just use a food bank .../s
Some of these comments though...
The problem is that in multiple communities Sync has people spamming their ad infested crap. I can only block so many communities and suckers, including you.
Edit: Thanks $tync for Lemmy, for bringing all those brainless consumers into the conversation. Better get rich of it fast.
Just wait it out, people are excited about Sync but they are not gonna post forever. Block me if you want, you do you.
You say that as though there aren't far more posts on the front page of lemmy right now trashing sync than those praising it. Most of the discussion around it is people trashing it, not people praising it
Let people use what they like and get over the fact that not everyone wants to use the same software as you. The fact that you feel the need to block people because they enjoy a piece of software you don't like says a lot more about you than it does about anything else
I really don't get why so many people are so bent out of shape about an app they don't even have to use,
Well, on my feed there aren't. I do let people use what they want. I'm just pointing out that putting ads (or insane payments) over open source software is a dick move.
Stync is just some front end stuff. If you think it'll help the platform than throw your cash at it. I think it's a farce.
That's odd, given that you've posted comments and many of the highly upvoted anti-sync posts on the front page rn lol - meanwhile I can't find more than handful of barely upvoted pro-sync posts on any community that isn't specifically for the app.
Yeah you've made that pretty clear lol, and you're welcome to think that, given that no one is making you use it, nor are any of their users basing their decision making on your personal opinion about it.
I'd also disagree that a $20 one time payment for high quality software is "insane" but clearly you and I have very different views when it comes to this stuff, so no point in arguing back and forth.
If I were you, I'd just move on and ignore it - spending as much energy (literally doz3ens of comments based on a quick look at your post history as this on not liking something as trivial as a lemmy app isn't healthy, especially since your comments seem to be getting more and more toxic as your "discussions" continue...
EDIT: Just navigated from this comment to my front page and saw this
Of the top 10 posts, 5 (and mostly the 5 nearest the top) are people complaining about Sync, so tell me more about how it's the Sync users who are spamming all over Lemmy about their app preferences lol
Hi Zeerover, please go back to Reddit, we left because of poisonous little kids like you.
Thanks and have a nice life
I haven't been on Reddit for 6 years and you can't even read (or type) usernames correctly so you go and try to have a life.
Hey man. You should download Sync
