Intentionally missing the point to try and make your own?

[–] GroggyGuava 2 points 1 year ago

Right yah I felt like that was probably the case when I was typing that honestly, that's my bad, I guess I should've said only really started taking off months ago, and is still rather small.

Which is a big assumption to make on such a young site.

My comment threads are constantly broken for some reason, always all out of order

It only gets rid of ads.

Yah no shit I didn't say I'm starving bc of him. I asked for someone to make it make sense. Which you haven't, instead you went with "wah wah go use something else then" - really constructive conversation, why raise complaints about things that could be better? Why try to push for improvements in something you like/care about, that's what you're arguing for me to do. "Pay for it or shut up", how about I don't pay, and instead voice my opinion on the Internet like the sites designed for.

My issue with lemmy being young isn't the lack of content, it's that he's selling a "lifetime" option on something that's barely been around long enough to know we'll keep using it/it'll be around in a year.

I completely agree that it should be sub $10.

Just a quick correction, to just remove ads it's $20, which is ridiculous to ask for a lifetime of something only a few months old (lemmy).

£13??

Mine is $20 for the remove ads option, how does that make sense?

I used sync for reddit for a decade. No way in hell I'm paying $20 for the ad-free upgrade. Explain how lemmy which is months old and a minute fraction of the size of reddit, should cost me more to browse ad-free than reddit? It's mind boggling that we're in the age where asking $20 for a 3rd party social media app is being defended as reasonable.

[–] GroggyGuava 1 points 1 year ago

You're showing the price for sync ultra, he's referring to the price for ad-free sync, which was like $2-3

[–] GroggyGuava 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ok so now we have a one time purchase option, now someone make it make sense how it costs more to buy lifetime access to a months old site, than it did for me to buy the same upgrade for a longstanding site I knew Id be using for years. As far as I'm concerned lemmy is still just a possible reddit replacement, at least until we see that it has the longevity we all want.
