Sync for reddit also had a subscription model
This is the only source of income for the developer
By definition the ads the app uses are not spyware, therefore it is a fact.
Google Play Services by definition is not spyware, again, fact.
Not everything that tracks users is spyware, I'm really hating this place being anti everything that is not FOSS...
He relies on the instance up time
Objectively, ads are not spyware, thats a fact. Objectively, Google is not a spyware either, thats a fact regardless of your opinion. Every instance has their own servers, right now lemmy.world is super slow, earlier they disabled comments to mitigate an attack. Sync relies on your instance being reachable to work.
- LJ is not using spyware
- He's offering a paid version right now, subscription based. There's talks about an ad free IAP in the short term future
- IMHO I don't see a one time purchase viable if a developer wants to live from just one app (and has to rely on external servers for the app to work)
If you long press the settings you can copy them as hyperlinks ;) Settings shortcut: Comments > Comment body font
We've been using Discord for 3 or 4 years now, he has a community built there
The workaround for that case is backup the settings from your first account and then restore it on your other accounts
Sync for Lemmy v25 already has a one time purchase
