    It baffles me the amount of pushback the $2 a month is getting. I guess it says alot about the demographic browsing Lemmy…I’m happy to support the dev. For the amount of time I’ve used on sync it’s 100% worth every penny.

      You must be new if you’re surprised lemmy is mostly privacy and security conscious folk who prefer foss.

        Valuing privacy, security, and FOSS doesn’t have to mean unwilling to pay for quality software though.

          It does mean unwilling to pay for closed source software.

              Yeah, I trust the business model where their reputation depends on keeping my data private an order of magnitudes more than the business model that is literally selling it.

            If that’s your mentality it shouldn’t matter whether the software is paid or free as in beer. I’m generally in that group, but I’m pretty pragmatic about using some closed source software when it’s non-critical to my life…

            A Lemmy app where tons of alternative clients exist and everyone I’m doing is more or less public anyways… Yeah that doesn’t need to be free software.

      I can’t post or search on the app yet… It’s objectively the worst Lemmy app currently. I loved Sync for Reddit, but charging more for a product missing basic features is questionable.
