Sync for Lemmy - Now Released on Play Store - lemm.ee

And just like that, all the other lemmy clients mean nothing to me. Just the handling of media posts is next level compared to the other guys.

I, too, love intrusive tracking permissions and ads.

Oh, wait… no I don’t.

You want free. You want no ads. You want sustainable. You want a fairy tale.

… They said, on the ad free, FOSS free, free as in beer free, constantly updated and sustained platform.

Posted from my free, ad free, constantly updated, ‘fairy tale’ Android App.

Funded by an Open Source grant by NLNet

Just because you think something is free doesn’t mean it is.

Just because something receives funding doesn’t mean it isn’t free. I understand development has costs. Hosting has costs. But nobody is extorting payment for hosting or developing lemmy. As an end user, the service is free to use. That’s obviously what I’m referring to.
Until the grant runs out and new funding needs to be found. And when socialised funding become untenable they will turn to the users or the corporations. Nothing is free.
Asking for donations is, again, different than extortion. There’s a stark difference between a splash screen asking for funding to continue providing a free service and forcing ads and tracking in exchange for cash to operate on said FOSS platform.
Who said anything about extortion? We’re talking about the service being free, just because you’re not the one paying for it doesn’t make it free.
