Do you people just hate anyone who receives money?

Oh no my $20 for a lifetime purchase of removing ads from an app I've enjoyed using for like a decade. 🥱

[-] kenbw2@lemmy.world 57 points 1 year ago

I think the point of the post is ain't nobody donating $20 to the Lemmy platform or host or other apps

[-] ShustOne@lemmy.one 70 points 1 year ago

This meme implies that Sync is taking all the donations though. The people donating to Sync didn't stop donating to Lemmy to do so

[-] gkd@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 year ago

Yea this is the thing I keep saying. Who cares about if you're paying $20 for an app if that's what you want to do. Just remember to help out the instances who are running things to make that app work. I think a lot of people realize this and that's great, but I'm sure some people also don't. So, instead of circlejerking about Sync being $20, it would have been better for make one or two posts days ago with that reminder and leave it be. Instead, we see the circlejerk continuing days later.

My instance shut down donos because they were bringing in way more than they needed and are sitting on years of server costs at current usage. I was donating when they were open, though.

I saw an earlier post that showed Lemmy's recent rapid growth followed by a plateau and then slight decline. My feeling is that there is a very LOUD minority of Lemmy users that are trying to act as self-anointed gatekeepers and they're bringing the platform down as a direct consequence. It makes the platform look petty and small to new and existing users alike. If the top posts are continually about shaming other users then this platform isn't going to last. Let's focus on building communities and having interesting conversations rather than one upping each other.

When Sync lauched it was all anyone was talking about. I don't see the memes for and against Sync as people actually upset I just think it is the meta topic of the week. Like when beans were a meme following the "how can I not poop for three days?"

It's more like one dev made the best user experience on lemmy, so people give him money. At least that's the case for me.

[-] Scrithwire@lemmy.one 34 points 1 year ago

Same. Dedicated sync for reddit user, now that sync for reddit is dead, I'll follow the sync dev and support him with my Dollars

But im using sync for free.

Why are people so angry about this?

[-] theragu40@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

Well you see, it's important to aggressively gatekeep anything that people start to use and enjoy.

[-] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 31 points 1 year ago

The people who are actually angry tend to be FOSS advocates. I think they were assuming Sync would have a FOSS type option for users, and were surprised that wasn't the case.

The rest of us just think it's funny.

I'm a sync user, btw

[-] Zetta@mander.xyz 24 points 1 year ago

I'm a FOSS advocate, and I have the $20 Sync ad free.

This whining is so pathetic.

[-] gsfraley@lemmy.world 76 points 1 year ago

Christ, let me use my favorite app in peace instead of going "tsk tsk" and whinging about it when no one's stopping you from using other apps.

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 52 points 1 year ago

Like this is somehow the fault of sync's dev. Go ahead folks, the donate to lemmy button is at the top of the page, go ahead and click on it if your morals are so true.

Hey OP why don't you start by sharing your donation receipts to Lemmy?

[-] Roundcat@lemmy.ca 67 points 1 year ago

Leave reddit cause you can't use your preferred app anymore. Come to Lemmy, and get beat over the head for your choice of preferred app.

Who let spez make a Lemmy account?

[-] spookedbyroaches@lemm.ee 52 points 1 year ago

Why would people do this? We want the hughest amount of users we can, and for most people to believe in FOSS or even copyleft philosophy, but this just pushes people away. Just use whatever app you like best and maybe donate to incentivize the app you believe in. But to just relenlessly mock non-FOSS apps only hurts the community and doesn't foster growth.

And this kind of idiocy is why I'm glad there's a user block

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Damn. This comment section...

Reddit left a lot of y'all really insecure and easily triggered. Anyone would think OP threatened your mother's life or something.

🥤🪑🍿

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

This is such an annoying opinion.

The sync app dev is charging for a product. They know they have a market, albeit narrow. The income will be chunky and consistent.

The Lemmy devs provide a free platform and ask for donations. They know they have a market. It's enormous. The income is gratuity.

Neither party should be surprised about who is raking in how much cash or why. I'm sure they're not.

No user should be confused about why both parties are doing what they're doing. No one should be confused about how it's going for them. But for some reason y'all won't stfu about it.

It's just so asinine.

[-] Ktheone@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

This is probably the 10000th post on sync

I downloaded Sync and thought wow nice ui, maybe I sould buy the adless version. Then I thought wtf, why is this so fucking expensive?

Not sure what you are talking about? I did not (yet) pay the 20€ for the ad free version of sync. But I did donate more than double that amount to the lemmy devs. And if my instance would accept donations, I also would have donated there

That developer guy must have gotten very rich if we all 20 Lemmy Sync users bought his app.

I wonder what's the percentage of Sync users vs the rest, seeing how passionate some are about Lemmy, it probably means they are inundating Lemmy developers with donations and just want us to do the same.

This image is awful. Rich assholes would never allow the pipe to drip.

[-] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 year ago

Not sure I would call the dev of sync a rich asshole. It's only one dude and the app is livelihood. He is very responsive to input and very good at what he does. It's a great app. Or it was, for reddit. Currently still some growing pains but impressed how well it is considering it's been only one month.
