Why people insulting them just for this comment? Open-source fanatics are real.
Because there wouldn’t be a Sync if it wasn’t for opensource. Sync is piggybacking off of opensource.
Care to elaborate on how Sync is piggybacking off on open source?
I think they are saying that without the core Lemmy team, there wouldn’t be a platform for Sync to build off of (or Kbin, but same thing applies). There’s obvious truth in that statement, but I don’t think it’s a reason to belittle people for being willing to pay for an app. However in OP’s case here, (at least without the edit) it does kind of come across as a “fuck you” to the actual platform that Sync is using. Probably not his intention, but perception is reality.
If anything though, we should be reminding people of this and asking them to consider also donating to the continued development of Lemmy or to the running of the instance they use. Not sure why there’s this huge circlejerk about people paying for Sync. Let people do what they want…
It’s good to see this point being made.
There’s a lesson here: people are willing to pay good money to participate on lemmy. What applies to the app may (I’d hope) apply to servers and development.
Sync user and server supporter, here. Hope we only grow in number.
Probably because of
They then edited and said they’re not taking a shit on open source software, in direct contradiction to what they said before. It shouldn’t be a surprise that people didn’t like it. Also, “touch grass” is a really stupid phrase since most people browse the internet on their phones and can just as easily be outside sitting in grass as anywhere else.
