With all this talk about sync's pricing... - lemm.ee

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 [https://join-lemmy.org/donate] and/or the people keeping your home instance up will accelerate the incredible growth of lemmy!

Y’all just seething bc others are enjoying things. This is just cringe. This is not a zero sum game. You can donate to lemmy devs/instance devs/fav. app devs and whatever else you like too.

And let’s not pretend this is new. You could see a lot of memmy users being excited about their app too. I don’t know what the hell they are talking about. But I’m glad they have an app they like that much.

Just. Let. People. Enjoy. Things.

i dont think theres anything wrong with sync enjoyers loving their app but i have to agree that the money would be better spent on actually keeping instances alive

It’s not either or. But I have now stopped donating because y’all can’t get off this topic.

Hate the super-rich, not people with enough money left over at the month that they can afford a nicer way to interact with lemmy as intended - ad free.

That the server needs people with extra cash to support it is exceedingly valid. That’s why I had been donating until literally 10 minutes ago.

I’m not subsidizing people who feel entitled to: Free shit Using free shit to tell others how they should spend (Acting like my money is theirs)

It’s a simple boundaries issue that so many on Lemmy don’t seem to comprehend.

When I stopped my donation, there was “other” then a box to say why. I filled it in. It’s just one donation that stopped, but who knows, there could be more.

all i said is better spent, not that you’re not allowed to spend money on sync; and you talk about it like you’re forced to pay to browse lemmy without ads when it’s sync that has ads and not lemmy?

Strange comment
