Needed to hear these words, very applicable to my current environment. Cheers :)

Yes they've always been a thing in the promotions/else tabs, anyone who says they aren't around simply hasn't clicked those tabs or registered they existed (in fairness, everything in that tab is generally an ad)

Brie. I never buy it on my own free will, but I am an absolute goblin when I see it at a party

I'm sure some people will swap, but nah no way it's a meaningful loss

Ad blockers will still exist too, they just won't be as effective. If the layman installs an ad blocker and gets one less ad, they won't question it further

It is! I think it's from the same Netflix show where he eats sushi off a naked cowgirls ass

Yeah like original post is bullshit but this isn't at all a foreign thing to say

Hell yeah. Special shout-out to Sync for Lemmy for reeling me back in as a daily user.

Aside from the polish, it's also the familiar UX that many of us have used for a decade. It just feels familiar & right now!

The whole pricing debate is so exhausting. Anybody who feels $20 is too steep for an app they might use for the next decade is welcome to their opinion, but they'll never have the same perspective as those of us who enjoyed a decade of improvements to Sync for Reddit. LJ is a class act, Sync is leagues ahead of all other 3PAs, and I'm happy to pay my share.

There are so many FOSS & alternative options. LJ is dedicating his full attention to a niche platform and has set up a subscription model that allows this project to remain sustainable for him & his team (yes, team). Feel free to go with any other option, but let's not pretend that Sync is the antichrist for being the first Lemmy 3PA developer that is prioritizing sustainability after a decade of supporting users who paid $2

Inversely, why tolerate squatting? If you want to build the community up, great, but reserving is stupid if it isn't done in good faith

Absolutely floored at how active this instance & community is. It's like I never left Reddit.

Cheers!!

Amen. Half the battle is actually contributing/replying for engagement metrics, so here I am :)
