Their invasive tactics are concerning. If we’d eat that, other devs may follow. It may become the new reality.

Servers aren’t free. Donating to your instance is better than paying forban add-free Sync experience. This way you also help other users by making downtime even less noticeable.

Nothing is free. If you value the app and don’t like ads, pay for it. If not, use a free one or build one yourself. If you value the service a server is providing, pay for it. Why would you want to artificially restrict our possibilities? it’s not like we can only choose one or the other.

So don’t use it? Or pay for it and avoid the ads?

It may snowball into other apps wanting it too? The first to take this step out of blue is asking to face some resistance. It’s natural. I’m surprised no one else is against them.

So? Someone who can’t afford to build an app for free won’t do it if there is no demand for it. People building free open source apps will still do it. I really don’t get the problem…
