It is not about that. Sync for Lemmy is five times as expensive in comparison to the Reddit version, plus it is a subscription model. Pure evil. I am not even adding that the whole platform is FOSS, but Sync. Pay money to Lemmy if you want, not to a greedy developer of a client. Lemmy has no ads, only donations. Yet, people are buying the "good UI" BS. Develop Lemmy per se, not a proprietary parasite. Or pay to server hosts. No, people pay to someone who has nothing to do with the Lemmy itself.
Sync is literally made off the spyware: https://reddthat.com/comment/1586624
UPD. Couldn't care any less about someone else's feelings. I am pro-facts, these won't take into account how you feel. Actually, no one cares about those
There is a non-subscription model that also disables the admob tracking.
But not nuances, it feels.
That's not just a feeling. They professionally cherry picked facts to try to generate outrage. And threw any context out the window along the way.
I have never seen a website so consistently entitled. It changes my sympathetic view of the left into a need to self reflect and maybe ensure those sympathies get solid, unwavering boundaries.
No one is entitled to other people's stuff. We can credibly argue whether value is flowing to the right places, but that's not what I'm seeing on lemmy in sync-bash posts.
