Imagine caring what app other people use.
You're not a real Linux user unless you bitch about other people's software choices
I'm a Linux user and I already have Sync for lemmy lifetime pass. Am I not real
Fellow linux and Sync supporter here, I think we real
i refuse to believe you're real if you spent 20 bucks on a Liftoff clone to have what everyone else gets for free (no ads)
Isn't Liftoff the clone, considering Sync is 10+ years old?
Yea someone already said the truth but Sync has been around way longer than that liftoff clone.
your choice in software sucks
arch btw
/s
They bitch because they care. /s
Xbox and sony fanboys chipping in
And mac users
I care in the sense that if a lot of other people are happy with a different client, I want to try it myself.
Imagine caring about people caring
Imagine caring about people imagining people caring about people caring.
Did I spell caring right? It really doesn't look right anymore.
I think you used it right. It's when people use a car. Car + ing = caring
Weird. I downloaded synch and didnt pay a cent. Is there a pay version?
they mean free as in freedom,
See: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html
There's a free ad version, non-ad version($20), and extra feature version ($100/life, $16/yr, $2?/mo)
Yeah it's free, but the ad-free version is 20 quid and the Ultra version is a laughable 100 quid
I mean, I used Sync for Reddit for 8 years, so considering the costs on a pet year basis...
Seriously why are there so many posts about this? Let it go, people
The more popular your personal favorite app is, the more attention it will get from developers, this making your app better.
See, it's not just about caring about somebody else's preferences.
Kinda throws the chrome comparison out the window
Which chrome comparison?
Oh sorry, there is another comment where someone compared this to Firefox and Chrome
Imagine being salty from a meme

Yeah it's not like that the majority of people using e.g. Chrome over FOSS alternative like Firefox has any repercussions, why would we care, right?
Nobody is forcing you to use sync, hell nobody is even asking you to try it. So why not stop being one of the spiteful angry assholes that is driving people away from Lemmy.
Interesting that you got "spiteful angry asshole" from my comment lol
Yeah, I was wondering where that part of the comment came from as well...
"Spiteful angry asshole" is a dumb response. I agree with everything else.
That’s a bit on a different scale than what client apps people use for lemmy
Sure but it's the same concept of why we should care what others are using, which was what the comment I replied to critisized.
