Tbh, I think this whole thing is being blown out of proportion. Part of FOSS and the internet in general is the ability to have choice over what you use and spend your time with. Just because Sync is out, doesn't mean you can't continue to use your FOSS apps. It just means that we now have an option for people who want to pay for a very polished experience.

I agree. Considering the backlash at reddit for nixing third party apps, you'd think people would praise all the options for Lemmy.

The reason I'm on lemmy is I WANT to use weird apps and see different things programmers do. It's like the post is telling me just get taco bell when there's a dude selling Mexican grandma style enchiladas out of a food truck and I can go over that corner restaurant and get some fire chimmi-chanagas.

I like weird stuff. So what about it? God damned people pushing some vanilla boring shit.

Just ignore them? I don't see your point here at all. If you don't want to eat Taco bell, don't eat it???

Right, I'm on a third lemmy app, just saying my 2cents. What's the problem exactly ?
