  • Correct, it got an update today and now it's asking to subscribe. 1โ‚ฌ is "about half an hour of browsing every day". How about fuck you Reddit

  • +1 for Alexandrite

  • Alexandrite on the desktop

  • That's not an alternative UI that is an app

  • Getting dowvoted by the foss extremists for being right

  • He thinks it's important but Actually it isn't

  • YAAAAAAAAWN

  • I spent a total of 0$ since 2016. And Discord has over 100 million active users a month, matrix has a long way to go to catch up. You foss fanboys live in a dreamworld

  • I think I speak for everyone here when I say Discord is clearly the best.

  • Pro-Ukraine? Pro-LGBT? And that's a problem to you? gtfo

  • Could be common knowledge to some. But since it's posted in a general technology community instead of an AI-focused one I'm sure there will be users who aren't as much in the loop.

  • For your argument; I don't agree. I think Matrix has sufficient features for this job.

    He said confidently, without any real experience to back this up

  • Then simply don't use sync and use a free option. Lemmy developers are being paid...

  • No, can't you see? There is no way to enjoy Lemmy without Sync.

  • So you really believe that FOSS is only developed by people doing this for free. Not saying there are no hobby projects developed by people in their free time but thinking that is how it works is pretty dumb. Postgresql, Mozilla, various Linux distributions providing "business solutions" - hell, even the Lemmy developers are funded.

    You are a fool if you think all Foss developers are anticapitalist idealists.

  • I am now very sure you are young and naive.

    "Guy needs money" ... for the time invested in providing something that is optional and you are free not to use.

    You don't like apps with ads then don't

  • It's not because Lemmy is FOSS it doesn't cost any money. Infrastructure costs and the time invested by those that help the fediverse grow is a cost too. Be it the time invested by the people running instances or those writing custom ui's, tools and yes even Lemmy apps. And if some people prefer to be compensated what's wrong with that? You think the Lemmy devs are doing it for free?

  • It would suck if Sync was the only option but it's not. Nobody forces you to use it. You have such a hateboner for Sync it's ridiculous. So the guy asks money for his work, who fucking cares.
