Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P

UX = user experience

    I do find it a bit odd to monetize a client for a service which is 100% free. Not necessarily against it, but it bothers me slightly.

      I pay proton to use their webmail service, even though email is a free service.

      I pay to register a domain name even though typing URLs into a browser are free.

      I pay to host my website even though visiting websites is free.

      Right?

      It bothers me a lot. Also considering OP and the ones with the same thoughts are using lemmy instead of reddit but still support fucking sync, i realize all of them are hypocrite or just stupid.

        Seems a strange thing to be bothered by to that extent.

        “all of them are hypocrite” what is this imaginary group being hypocritical about?

          We are using lemmy, because its foss, because it doesnt commercialize anything, because its decentralized; if thats not the case for you just use reddit, there is a lot more content over there.

          Sync is making money over fediverse, closed source, and collects data. So now, can you see the point?

            Fuck right off with the gatekeeping you melt of a man child.

            You are using lemmy because it’s FOSS, because it doesn’t commercialise anything, because its decentralised.

              Chill out

              If you dont use becuase what i have listed, there is no reason to stay here, just go where the content is more, and you can easily pay for api key and use custom interface for reddit.

              Instead of spending your time with raging to a random stranger on internet, just ignore or logically discuss with me.
