I care in the sense that if a lot of other people are happy with a different client, I want to try it myself.

Imagine caring about people caring

Imagine caring about people imagining people caring about people caring.

Did I spell caring right? It really doesn't look right anymore.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I think you used it right. It's when people use a car. Car + ing = caring

Weird. I downloaded synch and didnt pay a cent. Is there a pay version?

[–] Mr_Blott 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah it's free, but the ad-free version is 20 quid and the Ultra version is a laughable 100 quid

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I mean, I used Sync for Reddit for 8 years, so considering the costs on a pet year basis...

[–] L3s 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There's a free ad version, non-ad version($20), and extra feature version ($100/life, $16/yr, $2?/mo)

[–] DTFpanda 8 points 1 year ago

Seriously why are there so many posts about this? Let it go, people

[–] danc4498 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The more popular your personal favorite app is, the more attention it will get from developers, this making your app better.

See, it's not just about caring about somebody else's preferences.

Kinda throws the chrome comparison out the window

[–] Audbol 1 points 1 year ago

Oh sorry, there is another comment where someone compared this to Firefox and Chrome

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah it's not like that the majority of people using e.g. Chrome over FOSS alternative like Firefox has any repercussions, why would we care, right?

[–] Audbol 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nobody is forcing you to use sync, hell nobody is even asking you to try it. So why not stop being one of the spiteful angry assholes that is driving people away from Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting that you got "spiteful angry asshole" from my comment lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I was wondering where that part of the comment came from as well...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

"Spiteful angry asshole" is a dumb response. I agree with everything else.
