I like a good UX - Lemmy.world

Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P UX = user experience

I do find it a bit odd to monetize a client for a service which is 100% free. Not necessarily against it, but it bothers me slightly.

Yes the app developer should totally work for free.

Also servers are free to run yay.

Seriously what in the world?

sync doesnt have servers to run, lemmy instances do and they get 0 of that money.

Sync does have it’s own servers, that’s what ultra is partially.

and that is a perfectly valid business strategy! use free software to push paid services! basically most people in the FOSS space does that, look at redhat!

except hes not using free software and on top of that he adds ADS to a service that doesnt have any. thats the scummy part.
