Why would they pay 20$? Because even if sync is used to access a free service it is a product someone spent their time to make, and is optional. If people want to pay to use the app without ads because they think itās made better than the others (ignoring the ad and Google tracking on free version it IS one of if not the best app experience for Lemmy) they will. The Lemmy experience on sync is 100% better than on Jerboa for me, and I work hard running my own business so Iām not poor so I already forgot about that 20$ and Iām enjoying lemmy MORE than I was before
Itās really simple you guys are just grouches.

I donāt care what client yāall use as long as people are here and not on reddit
Most people donāt care about what client others are using. Itās more the evangelizing of what how $20 isnāt that big a deal that is starting to get annoying. If it was just Sync came out and people who liked it used it then itād be fine, but then some of you guys are bit too fanatical that youād go into other communities like liftoff to start arguing about Sync and how $20 is worth paying and the app deserves it and so on, and then trashing the Foss alternatives. Yes we get it you love Sync and is the best app ever, but try and tone it down a bit. Itās more the userbase that is hurting the image right now than anything.
I donāt care about your background, but since youāve mentioned it, you couldāve dropped $20 to lemmy.ml instead of cashing out for an app that creates problems unless you pay for it, since you throw money around that easy. They need it more than sync devs. This conversation couldnāt have happened if our instances werenāt properly hosted, but they are still availiable on any app you choose.
How do you know I havenāt donated to my Lemmy instance?
And itās not really throwing money around if itās something I use daily and get value from, is it? Im not being irresponsible lol my bills are paid my savings grows every week even when I buy myself superficial things, so itās not really an issue, also why the fuck should you care how I spend my money lmao
By your āgotchaā comeback, silly. Why do you throw at me how happy and financially savvy you are? Did someone hurt you? Why instead of defending your point you prove you are so well-off? It sounds stupid and miserable. Iām nobody on the internet, Idfc about your bills.
And I donāt care about you personally, but you and others like you enable sync to thrive. It shall crumble. I lowkey like that sync devs milked some money from ya, but it shouldāve happened in a more trad fashion, like MML, cryptoscam or something obvious. It couldāve made easier laughing at you.
