Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P
UX = user experience
It bothers me a lot. Also considering OP and the ones with the same thoughts are using lemmy instead of reddit but still support fucking sync, i realize all of them are hypocrite or just stupid.
Oh the irony of this comment… calling others hypocritical and stupid when they themselves don’t have the full context into the reason people beg for Sync… The irony is too strong
If its closed source, have a subscription model, and collects data i would rather not use that 3rd party app. Those things come before UX for me and if you are someone who came from reddit(like me) instead of payin for an api key and still use 3rd party app you must have the same side with me or you are just lying to yourself or dont know why left reddit(i expressed this situation with stupidity).
As i said, there is a lot more content on reddit, go over there pay what you pay to sync for lemmy and use reddit. Same thing with lots of more content.
You are entitled to make any assumptions you want about my choice. I’m glad you have your criteria for choosing the platforms and apps you like, and I celebrate that.
Unfortunately, you don’t really know my reasoning for my choice of platform and app, so telling me to go to Reddit based on your mis-assumptions about why I like Lemmy and Sync really highlights the core issue here.
Anyway, good luck to you bud. I hope you have a great Friday.
Seems a strange thing to be bothered by to that extent.
“all of them are hypocrite” what is this imaginary group being hypocritical about?
We are using lemmy, because its foss, because it doesnt commercialize anything, because its decentralized; if thats not the case for you just use reddit, there is a lot more content over there.
Sync is making money over fediverse, closed source, and collects data. So now, can you see the point?
This type of comment and attitude is what reeks in FOSS. Really unfortunate.
Fuck right off with the gatekeeping you melt of a man child.
You are using lemmy because it’s FOSS, because it doesn’t commercialise anything, because its decentralised.
What do you think is wrong about sync? The developer has had a low cost well supported product for quite a while. I must be missing your point.
-
nothing wrong with that
-
nothing wrong with that
-
the data collection modules have not been initialized in the Sync code
But continue evangelizing.
I only used Reddit because of Sync. I don’t give a shit what site provides the content. I want the revenue for the app to go to the UX creator.
I didn’t say I don’t support the infrastructure,and it’s an incorrect inference you make of my preferences. My position is “yes pay for UX.” My (unstated) position is also “yes, pay for infrastructure, but be willing to move instead of being tied to hosts”
You seem to infer that bc I am willing to pay for UX, I’m against paying for the servers, which simply isn’t true or what I said.
If you are saying i dont give a fuck about privacy policy of company, ideas and believes of company owners and other shit; if you are saying just give me content and better ux, then it seems that we are not same. cant argue with that.
I didn’t say any of that. I am saying I care about the UX first. I don’t use meta/Twitter/alphabet social products for these reasons.
I would like to see instances also get a funding mechanism to support them without corporate overlords.
