Yeah, this shit is getting old really quickly.
What client I use doesn't affect your experience. I and lots of others are reddit refugees and I used sync for years. I'm ecstatic to have the interface back.
Bullshit gatekeeping and bickering over ideological purity doesn't help anyone. At the end of the day, lemmy is confusing for someone accustomed to reddit. There is a learning curve. Most of us just want to exchange info and converse. I don't give a fuck to learn about FOSS and all that other bullshit any more than any of you want to learn the specialized minutiae I have to sift through at my day job.
Shut the fuck up already. This sort of discourse lands like a bunch of shitty kids meeting at a half empty bar all criticizing how one another got there
Agreed. Nobody gave a fuck the app used on Reddit, and there's no reason to care now. You do you
Except for Reddit themselves... They certainly seemed to care...
🤣🤣🤣 damn true
Hahaha, thanks for all bringing it back and reminding us why we're all here
nailed it
You are commenting on a meme that says the same thing you just did in a slightly different and more concise way, though. All I see in the comments is people saying why they prefer one app over another. I don't really see anybody bashing people for picking a a specific app.
I think you are overreacting a bit.
If you do see people being bullied for picking one app over another, then I apologize. I just mostly see people criticizing Sync for not being FOSS, or see people criticizing the FOSS stuff for not being user friendly. I don't really see a problem with people criticizing software, as long as it isn't an attack on the users of said software.
I do agree that there are too many damn posts about this, but I don't really care about it that much. Maybe others do.
I mean. If we're going to ride that analogy it sounds like sync is an automatic transmission while FOSS is manual.
I just want to get where I want to go. Who cares how it happens? It's not like sync is imessage and fucks things up for other users
My past was a reaction to a LOT of vitriolic anti-sync posts and comments. They're all over and they're baffling
It's just a FOSS argument vs a closed source argument. It happens with everything. Look at Linux and Windows. Android and Apple. I agree that it can be annoying, and I don't partake myself, but it's not really that big of a deal as long as nobody is being personally attacked. This kind of discussion won't really be detrimental to this platform.
Manual versus automatic is a pretty good way to put it. I like your analogy. It's just a dumb argument for about how people want their personal things to work.
I can completely understand the annoyance with how many posts have been made about it. I am a developer who has contributed to FOSS projects, so I hear arguments like this all of the time amongst peers. I could personally care less just like you. I use little bits of both depending on my use case.
I do see a lot of people caring a lot about whether you are using sync or not.
Infinity was a reddit app first, too.
