Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P

Don't forget this is a community built around Open Source software with many refugees who came because proprietary apps were forced on them.

The Lemmy protocol is open source and you're free to use an open source solution. You're free to use sync for Lemmy in much the same way you can run a Spotify client in Linux. One does not destroy the other.

Tldr if you don't like it, don't use it.
