I would pay extra to not have to hear people complain about a choice no one is forcing them to make
Do what works for you, and let other people do the same
It would be a lot better if it was a true donation, since Lemmy itself doesn't have ads. The developer also has very minimal fees to cover, so it makes no sense to add ads ontop of a free service and have a steep price to remove it (yes, 20+ dollars for an app toconly remove ads is steep, look around at other app prices). This was not the case for Sync on Reddit, it was a lot cheaper.
It just seems unnecessarily greedy by the developer
Then don't use sync
Yea I don't anymore, switched to Voyager since it's on google play store now
Thanks for the heads up on Voyager. Will definitely give that a try.
how does it compare ? I've been using Sync for years but I'll gladly ditch any service that's doesn't align with my values provided I have an alternative
So far it's pretty great, it has a few minor bugs in it and some features that could be added but looks like it has an active developer so not really an issue
