  • Just scrolled past this on All.

    Americans should be contained be the SCP.

    Sure, 90% of you guys over there are racists and have a huge racism problem but don’t go apply your racist shit to everyone internationally.

    I’ll continue having Xi an Pooh synonymous because I’m not racist and can actually do things in life without trying to make it about ““race””.

    P.S. God, where did Americans even get the idea that Asians look yellow?? Most of my family is Asian and is black. I know Asians who are paler than me (German).

    It’s like I’d color my face blue and someone calls me a racist, discriminating penguins.









  • When I say it’s a lot less work than making an app from scratch I’m mainly thinking about the UI/UX design which only had to be adjusted in Sync’s case. I do lots of UI design for private projects and work, so I know that it’s a big part of the workload.

    his app account for federation problem/features that aren’t implemented in any other app yet

    What do you mean? I’m no Sync expert but I did test out the app and didn’t notice any special features. I’m especially interested in instance related tech since that’s kinda the USP of my own App, Nemmy.



  • uhhh… I guess so?

    My point was that Sync is overpriced, not that devs couldn’t demand money for their work, of course.

    Again, this is only from what I heard, since I didn’t use Sync during Reddit times but apparently it was cheaper back then, so he raised the price for switching from Reddit to Lemmy - which I think is overcharging.

    Of course it’s more than changing some URL, but it’s less work than actually making it from ground up - for which he used to charge less.

    You see my point? Of course you may disagree with me, but I don’t think my point is so outragous that it calls for “insults” (?).





  • To build an IOS app you need an Apple Developer Account, which is a subscription service for 100 bucks a year.

    It’s similar but not the same for Android. With Android you don’t need an Account to build the App, just one to publish it on the Play Store - which also only costs 25$ one-time purchase.

    Also, I can understand the financing on for-profit Apps like Sync. Shit costs so much money the dude breaks profit with just one person paying premium.

    For hobbiest it’s on the expensive side. I mean it’s probably the most expensive part of the pipeline for most hobby Devs for a way overpriced service. But I get it if you really want to publish your Lemmy App on the IOS store and have the money to do it, just wondering if these people have any plans of breaking at least even via donations or such.
