The quality of users went downhill fast. They want ads, so we'll get ads. Everything on Lemmy's "all" is about Sync. It's marketing. People love that yes.
Just feel sorry for all the people who voluntarily put in their work. And then some dipshits start paying some front end dev 100 dollars who's piggybacking off of the work thousands of volunteers put in.
If you think they're worth it that's up to you. It won't do the community any good. It already went downhill today.
That's because it literally just came out. I don't know how else to break it to you.
They'll stop talking about it by next week.
Like an advertisement campaign you mean.
