I just wanna stop seeing “Sync this” and “Sync that” in my feed. How bout y’all “Sync” into some removed DM’s and STFU about your client?
In sync you can set up filters so you don’t have to see the sync posts.
Lmao of course
I agree, I hate all the Sync subscription shilling in my feed. I also hate its personal data spying. Sync fanboys should shut the fuck up and buy subscription and use it silently, like other Jerboa/Connect/Liftoff/Infinity users. Sync fanboys are doing this “BTW I use
ArchSync” crap with posts and comments.I used paid Sync Dev reddit for a few years, and now I hate it because of its fanbase’s antics.
I see more posts about the sync posts than I see the sync posts
The past few days the feed was mostly filled with both. Not sure if the bashing was more or less than the other
Why do you care if someone uses Sync? Seems the only people giving a shit are those adamant on “FOSS only”.
Let people enjoy things
(Also if you pay for ad removal the tracking stops, the tracking is only included with the ads)
I’m using sync with an adblocker so there’s no ads, so there’s no tracking so it’s basically a free app.
i’m on sync without ad bloker and i don’t see any ads. just some gray box.
maybe because i’m in Europa and i revoked my gdpr consent for personalized ads
How is this meme stopping people from enjoying things?
It’s not stopping but it’s kinda annoying to see one group trolling others. Yeah, the app has paid features that I can’t even afford to pay. But I simply don’t care and just use it with other FOSS app.
Most of the lemmy users are adults who are tech savvy. If one alternate is not fit them, they know their alternatives or know how find them. Let us not behave like a bunch of edgy teens.
if you pay for ad removal the tracking stops
Oh cool, so if you pay to remove the ads the developer added in to make you pay, you won’t be tracked. Maybe.
The tracking is just part of the Google ads, it’s not a separate thing, so if ads are disabled then it isn’t intermented so no ads or tracking. The guy wants to be paid for his work, I don’t think that’s unfair.
Just gotta take his word on that I guess since the app isn’t open source.
Reddit wanted to be paid for their work too btw. Many found that to be unfair.
Why do you care about intentionally making people ignorant about “let people enjoy things” in the name of giving personal data and money?
Are you out to wake everyone to the truth or something, cuz they know already, they just don’t care.
Letting people be spied on is a conspiratorial right wing “truth”?
That’s enough internet for today.
For fucks sake everyone stop arguing about what you use. The whole point of an open standard is that you can use anything to use lemmy. If you want to sell your left ball and all your privacy you do you.
I am more amused at how everybody missed that one Snoo antenna Reddit user I drew on the right side crowd. Syncpissers wanted to downvote like ledditors and fight instead.
Man invented like 4 new terms in 1 comment
So? Let them be. Nobody forces you to use Sync.
Nobody is not letting them be.
Kinda are. The users of other apps won’t shut up about it, lol.
If it helps lemmy grow who da fuck cares.
Posts like these are the definition of not letting them be
How so? This post is not stopping anyone from enjoying the app.
“Sync these nutts”
Yeah yeah, infinity is pretty dope though
🍿 🍿🍿
If you pay, the Google ad tracking is removed. So this meme is dumb as fuck
Also, okay? Who cares if you don’t use it.
You are clearly in the left group. :)
Me who is using Firefox web app on my home screen: “huh?”
I used FF during all the 3 years, and only now have I jumped to Jerboa. Minor UX shortcomings that can be solved, but extremely solid, since its UX inspiration is Boost for Reddit.
What’s all of this about?!
k bro. I’m still happy to pay no matter the shitposting
Feel free to use and pay for Sync.
I’m sure it has some good features, I’m one of those that just downloaded Reddits client and lived in ignorance about the third party clients.
I tried Sync and saw the placeholder advert boxes, and thought this is too much like Reddits client, and then I have to pay for removing them, maby I’ll just use some of the alternatives.
Which is fine! The FOSS options are solid.
Personally though, I had tried most Lemmy apps on Android before Sync came out, and found the experience to be lacking. Honestly, I was close to bailing on Lemmy entirely, assuming it just wasn’t for me. Sync was exactly what I needed in terms of UI and organization, and I’m happy to pay the dev for the work they do on it.
