When Sync lauched it was all anyone was talking about. I don't see the memes for and against Sync as people actually upset I just think it is the meta topic of the week. Like when beans were a meme following the "how can I not poop for three days?"

that may or may not be the case, but the reality of the situation is that it makes the whole foss community look a whole lot more off putting

Imo when it comes to topics like that, people tend to be able to just brush it off as a silly internet thing.

A silly internet thing is not necessarily equivalent a toxic community. I'm good with annoying posts, but a lot of people are taking other people's personal decisions a little too personally. I find that behaviour more annoying than I ever found the bean posts, tbh.

Why would someone spend their free time somewhere that they feel brings bad aspects to their life? Why would someone want to deal with a lot of negativity over (let's be honest) pretty minor things? Of course some users will get put off by that. It's why some people left Reddit years ago.

I just wanted to tell you how happy I was to see the Netscape logo as your icon. Brought me back to the old days of the internet.

Thanks, I'm glad it made you happy. I love how it manages to get so much detail despite being so low resolution.
