    Maybe a one time payment like for original sync, imagine supporting subscription services for a FOSS app 🤡🤡🤡

        I’m obviously referring to lemmy when I say foss app, you think you look smart being a contrarian?

          except lemmy isn’t an app, it’s a platform. sync is a lemmy app.

          taken from the website:

          “Lemmy is a selfhosted social link aggregation and discussion platform.”

          so if anything it’s you who is the contrarian, lol. but I digress ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                The one time payment for no ads used to support the original app for years and now it’s forced in a subscription model, the definition of greediness. I dont know why you support such behaviour and insult others on top of it, (oh the irony) but you do you.

      Perhaps when you create your own app you can determine your own cost model.

          If you’d like to have a real conversation, I’m willing. If you want to pretend to argue things no one claimed, you’re on your own.

            I tried an analogy since you didnt see the fallacy of your point, that failed too I guess, telling me dont judge the dev unless youve been in their shoes would mean u cant judge politicians either, I can and should have opinion on stuff regardless

              Again, point me to where I said don’t judge. I didn’t. Judge away.

              If you look at my post again, you’ll find that I tried to suggest that when you make your own app (and you should), you should decide on your cost model which sounds like it’ll be free. I eagerly await your release!

                  So what is your point exactly? That you shouldn’t charge for software you develop to access a free network? There are plenty of free solutions for you.

                    Yes not paying for a subscription to remove ads like the original sync app = not getting paid, youre already making up arguments so go ahead and make up my reply too why bother asking me

                current comments defend his current actions so no opinion on that until it happens.

                PS: weird how the no ads option takes more time to develop than the subscription option with 10x features, INCLUDING the no ads one !

        1. their default model isnt based on ads like sync for lemmy

        2. a third party client isnt as much work as the fediverse as u see it took him a month

        3)ads used to be a one time payment for his old app, so the money was enough for him back then and now hes even richer so why do you excuse his greediness?

          It took him a month because he adapted a code base he had been working on for a decade.

          It’s not greediness to want to be able to pay your bills. This is his job. Also a single payment option has already been developed it’s just not made in live yet.

            He was already paying his bills with the one time payment and now hes even richer, this is the definition of greediness. Also his future plans are irrelevant here I am judging his current actions and the OP comment defending them.

            PS, weird how the no ads feature takes longer to develop than the recurring payment with 10 features, INCLUDING the no ads one!

                I said rich-ER buddy, how did you miss the one word? One time payment was enough when he had even less money back when he didnt have the reddit money yet so theres no excuse to hide no ads option behind a subscription model, especially for a foss platform, its not like its a reddit client and pays for api

              Who cares if he is rich. He is making a good product and people want that product. He can charge whatever he wants, there is no point taking it personally. If you don’t want to pay, there is no one forcing you - you can even continue to use the app for free if you want.

                  If getting paid for the work you do that people are willing to pay for is greedy, then yes I suppose he is greedy, and so are everyone else who works for a living and try to up their earnings.

                    Not charging more than double the price of his product in the span of one month equals to not supporting people get paid, lets end this convo here since u wanna troll ( im nice and dont assume your reading comprehension is that bad instead)

            Charging 2.5x more in the span of one month for the same feature is the essence of software development and people cheer u for it? Sheesh im in the wrong business
