I can forgive using Sync, but Chrome?

Hey it could be worse

Edge is better than chrome

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

It kinda is. Split screen browsing is neat, too!

Edge is just Chrome with a different skin.

Yeah, weird flex but ok

You'd have to be very emotionally fragile to take it personally like this when someone criticizes an app you like.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hear you. It’s not even the site(s). It’s the app used to access. Who cares? lol

How else am I supposed to feel good by telling Sync users that they suck for not using Officially Approved FOSS Applications For The Fediverse?

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

Even if every single person used a FOSS client, someone would eventually come along and tell you why the one you use sucked....with a very long list of reasons why.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago

Use Firefox bro, it's better

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What a strange post. Wait until Chrome brings Manifest v3 that cripples all ad-blocking extensions forever then go on claiming "quit and having fun".

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

I use Sync, but I also use Librewolf, so I suppose that makes me the worst kind of person.

A centrist.

Nobody is trying to kill your buzz I am just enjoying using free software and amused that y'all are paying

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Many users would pay to have a subjectively better user experience. Sync was originally made for Reddit and had all that development time before Rexxit happened, and therefore, even after switching over to Lemmy, Sync is a more polished experience for many people compared to the FOSS alternatives.

I use Liftoff and Connect myself, and have never tried Sync. However, when Boost becomes available I'd love to try that out as well, as that was my Reddit app of choice.

Well there is an infinity port and since it was made for reddit too , its pretty nice ! The devs are active !

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Plus one for infinity.

Also voyager (wefwef) has now released on the play store, though I keep going back to infinity even if it's incomplete compared to connect, liftoff and voyager.

[–] jungekatz 0 points 1 year ago

Thats the same , infinity is not finished but looks so much good !

These are the voyagers of me on lemmy my continuing mission to seek out new communitys and new fediversers to boldly comment where no comment has been left before

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Reddit.

When the apps fell!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lemmy and Kbin at tenagra.

Liftoff their eyes open.

Mastodon, his arms wide.

Gilgamesh, a king. At Uruk.

This may be the funniest thing I have found on Lemmy yet. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Darmok is one of my absolute favorite episodes of Trek!

[–] Coreidan 10 points 1 year ago

So much drama over an app. If you don’t like it then don’t use it. Pretty simple.

Cue the "Who's an edgy boy?" meme

I'd be giving a thumbs up if I had three people juggling my jewels at the same time, too!

The copium is strong here. There are better apps if you didn’t know….

[–] TesterJ 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

"Better" is pretty subjective when it comes to this stuff. I've tried Jerboa, Liftoff, Connect, and Sync. I like Sync the best by far.

But I've also seen comments saying this exact same thing except they like one of the others the best.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Someone should make a list of all the Lemmy apps which are objectively better than Sync and the reasons why. That'd show them.

[–] CertifiedBlackGuy 9 points 1 year ago

It sure would
