Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

The ads aren't even working yet lol it's still in beta. I don't get why everyone is complaining.

People complaining seem to be in 2 camps:

  1. This is not FOSS and thus is bad.

  2. The pricing is too expensive.

For either case people are free to not use the app. Surely the existence of an app that makes the Lemmy experience so much better is a good thing. This grows the Lemmy universe.

That an app would even consider ads is offensive. Pay or don't use? Fine. But offer an ads tier? Hell no.

Boomer mentality, no thinking of the future.
