    I really don’t get the hate. Use whatever TF you want to and makes you happy. JFC.

      The hate would stem from the utter spam of every possible fucking instance with “Hey, Sync is out and the fucking best!! Spend your money!”

          I like that people are excited about it. I like that people are excited about FOSS. I hate all the posts that try to tell people that one is better than the other.

          The issue comes down to not everyone wanting to see the same content. I use sync and don’t care about seeing posts for it. Upvote, hide read, move on.

          But if you don’t care about sync it can be understandably annoying. Everyone has different preferences

          Paying for a product is not a bad thing, but yeah obviously there are issues with something not being FOSS…

              Proprietary and FOSS software both have a place, otherwise I would like to ask anyone against proprietary software for bank statements of FOSS donations or “Can you make a better one free”.

              There isn’t a lot of great FOSS software just because there isn’t much funding… Regardless, I am on the same page, that I’d much rather use FOSS software.

          Almost like they could all get excited in a mega thread… We did it for Musk spam.

          That’s their prerogative, I still find it obnoxious.

          For lifetime. Single purchase. It’s $17 a year. To support an incredibly small development team which were kicked off Reddit without any way to stay. Yeah, I’d pay some money to help a dude put food on the table.

            And if you just want to remove ads it’s about $20 for a lifetime too.

            $99.99 which comes out to about 6 years of paying the yearly fee. I paid $5 for Sync back in 2014 and I got 9 years of free updates and no ads until reddit killed sync.

            If you’re planning to use Lemmy for at least six years, the $100 is a steal, especially since I feel we can reasonably expect the same level of quality of life improvements and updates that Sync got with Reddit.

        Feels like OP is referring to the more direct hate that Sync is getting on other posts that this post, while not hating directly, definitely taps into.
