I’ve seen 4 posts in the last two days that have solidified the fact I will never even TRY Sync. Dev seems like a real scumbag. I’m pretty happy with Liftoff so far.
Regardless of what you think of the pricing, the Dev is not a “scumbag”.
I used Sync for Reddit for many years, and he is without a doubt the most responsive and accommodating app dev I’ve ever encountered. Always updating the community, always looking into improvements, and always friendly and helpful. Not to mention extremely skilled at what he does, as you would discover if you tried Sync (even in its free form).
Your accusation is absolutely over the top and completely contrary to reality. Of course you’re free to use whatever app you like, and to disagree with the pricing policy. But there’s no need or justification for talking about him like that.
Ok, I don’t agree with the price and all the people that are answering with excuses about pricing more because Lemmy has less users, so people have to pay more for a platform that is still on their early years? That honestly makes no sense to me.
Said that, Laurence (Sync dev) is a really awesome person.
The amount of work and feedback he replies to make Sync, while closes source, feels like a collaborative software.

Check out Infinity if you haven’t already. It’s an early port though.

What the heck?! This is actually a great app with an actual working tablet landscape mode and looks great! Thank you!

So… No he’s definitely not a scumbag.
