You can practice FOSS-only on your own, but don’t force it upon others. If they want to use a paid service, then let them.
You can also use Sync for free
With ads and tracking for said ads
I can’t really blame Sync devs for needing to eat.
Let’s complain about the issues that force monetization not the monetization itself.
The problem is the products that other people buy and use greatly affect the quality and availability of products for you.
I think these comments are intended to help people understand how to make the right decision for themselves, and everyone else.
What’s worse is attacking the developer, which is not going to encourage devs to build for lemmy at all.
And they’re attacking someone that was literally begged to bring his app to lemmy, with oaths to pay up. Nobody begged him to go open source. Nobody begged him to do it for free.
It’s shitty to go after Dawson. Nobody but an asshole would do so. FOSS zealotry is no better than religious zealotry, or vegan zealotry, or atheist zealotry, or crossfit zealotry (just to fill out the meme of those three lol).
Don’t like it? That’s fine. Don’t use it. But don’t be a giant, gaping asshole about it.

Arguing about apps isn’t entertaining enough for you? Picky picky.
Heh, I like this Project Wingman reference right there
If Sync brings more users to Lemmy, that’s a net win for all of us here.
Unexpected Project wingman is certainly unexpected.
Definitely ootl here, what’s happening with sync?
Astroturfing by Reddit, screaming that sync steals data (which it doesn’t)
It sends telemetry data to about 30 companies. Pretty standard for Google Play tracking and it’s not possible to know if the data is being taken advantage of or not.
It’s good to be cautious of that. But if you’re completely offended by that or if you’re completely accepting of that, you should consider the situation better.
Duckduckgo only lists google as the tracker. But includes 36 different tracking things.
Complaining about complaining.
