  • Besides, sync was always monetized, and everyone that was asking/begging Dawson to migrate the app knew that. The only people surprised are people that didn’t use it to begin with, and aren’t going to use it now.

    I’m an iPhone user so never had Sync, but even I’m confused about how upset people are. It’s like they’re trying to be offended on behalf of Sync users? Like…Sync users aren’t forced to use it and aren’t forced to pay for it. They choose to because they like the app and appreciate what the dev does. I loved Apollo and while I know Christian isn’t going to make a Lemmy app, if he did I would pay for it/pay for an ad free version because I know he does good work and I like his product.














  • my second objection is that that copying bash entries is meaningless activity - everyone can just go to where they already are to see them.

    Couldn’t this be said of…anything posted to an aggregator site? A large chunk of Lemmy (and Reddit) is screenshots of other sites.

    and last - that post was not funny when it was new and time did not help it 🤷‍♂️

    A lot of stuff posted to Lemmy isn’t funny to me either but my opinion doesn’t matter much.

    Not sure if I’m wooshing or you’re serious about being this particular about this post.



  • What blows my mind is I think they would have been moderately successful if they just said you need to have Premium to be able to use third party apps. I used Reddit for HOURS a day. Honestly it was bad. I wouldn’t have liked it but I probably could have justified to myself paying a small fee per month to be able to continue using Apollo if they had played their cards right. Instead I haven’t been back since before the blackout. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I should thank spez for cutting my addiction cold turkey.
