I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync's developer, Lemmy's developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home instance up will accelerate the incredible growth of lemmy!

I'd normally agree. I don't really like when someone responds with "nobody asked" to me or someone else.

But I really don't think a comment such as "I'm glad I can buy sync again" is appropriate for posts such as this. OP came to remind us to donate to lemmy devs as one of the main topics of lemmy is about sync now. The OP and the users who clicked this post didn't come to see comments like those from those specific sync users.

As for calling them a cult, I apologize for that.

Again, I also agree "nobody asked" isn't really a healthy way to proceed but those comments really do feel irrelevant. I have no idea what their purpose is here.

No need to apologise for anything bud, this is the Internet where Linus rants daily! We all do!

I understand you're fed up with all the sync bs. I just think we have to try to turn this in/to a way everybody gets better from it.

The reddit refugees are happy because "this feels just like home", they(we) don't care it's 20 bucks!

The og Foss crowd grumpingly :) accepts the higher amount of contributions which stems from that. (this is the point we've to drive home to ljdawson(sync dev)

And we all benefit because the fediverse grows and keeps growing, more content, more everything. Shiny beautiful future, end to war and world hunger, beginning of a new era where humanity reaches for the stars or dies because of a rogue AI or because of a runaway greenhouse effect.

Wait. No, not those last ones. It should have a happy ending.

Anyway: Everybody is happy. More or less. :) *for a while. *
