I never judged the users.
I never judged the users.
I wouldn’t if the dev gave me some attention.
Like an advertisement campaign you mean.
80% of people using Android.
Contributing doesn’t make anyone a lesser human.
You gonna do that iPhone crap now just because of $tync?
Yeah, like I started your bullshit. I called it out and you freaked out. Have a nice life (or not, I don’t care).
There we have this “good-faith” conversation. Idiot.
The quality of users went downhill fast. They want ads, so we’ll get ads. Everything on Lemmy’s “all” is about Sync. It’s marketing. People love that yes.
Just feel sorry for all the people who voluntarily put in their work. And then some dipshits start paying some front end dev 100 dollars who’s piggybacking off of the work thousands of volunteers put in.
If you think they’re worth it that’s up to you. It won’t do the community any good. It already went downhill today.
That’s why you pay.
I’ve been on open source since the early 90s. I know damn well how people make money off of it and who makes money off of it.
I support none of it if it starts including tracking and ads. It goes against the whole mindset. Google fanboys love it though.

Lemmy doesn’t have ads.
Yeah, piggybacking off of the hard work all the devs and instances put in is really annoying. Sync brought Reddit to Lemmy (unfortunately). Time to move on I guess.
Well it’s easy to conclude what you’re shoving down you throat.
If you think more ads is the solution that’s good for you. Ads are society’s cancer, so I have little choice other than to block it. (Paying to get rid of ads perpetuates the idea that ads are profitable. That’s up to you.)
But those same “independent experts” are equally shoving (real waste meat) sausages down your throat.
Lemmy doesn’t have ads. If you have to pay to remove them don’t you think something is wrong with that? Why not pay for the community and useful features instead?
Get off your ass and help (or learn) instead of complain. It’s open source, so many resources. Better then supporting ads (or paying to get them temoved which is still supporting ads).
