All the self righteousness of lemmy is strange.
There's not just better opinions, even small decisions are morally imbued and if someone steps out of line...
Wait, does using sync cause hurricanes? Earthquakes? Will the four big ponies of the lempocalypse arrive and snort angrily?
Otherwise, I get that a surge of people elated they have something you don't/can't have is off putting. FOMO is real.
But it doesn't need all the meme-shade.
I think this is just a reaction to the massive amount of hype we all saw yesterday.
It's a good app, but it's expensive, potentially collects your data and shares it with advertisers, and it's closed source. That's the facts of the matter so far as I can tell...
The are pros and cons here, obviously, but it's neither objectively positive or negative. With the pricetag comes unique features, like being able to tag people with notes. That's neat!
Wat?
Apt name.
My post had 3 downvotes (meh), so I'm taking that to mean it made sense.
What part of it didn't make sense to you? The part where I indicate you're playing innocent while throwing shade? People can see your post history.
Yeah, but people aren't as creepy as you, crawling around others post history and posting irrelevant reply.
Ohh and i don't care about downvote, this isn't reddit anymore, time to grow up. So what if i'm throwing shade? The app isn't worth the price, it's too expensive, i talk about it, so what?
Why is looking at someone’s post history creepy? That’s something somebody would say who’s worried about their previous posts
You do you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Damn bro, did you wake up on the wrong side?
Cool story bro then dont buy it. I think it is worth it and bought a lifetime sub.
If you like other apps or want to use a free app or an open source app then more power to you. But throwing Sade on an app that someone bent over backwards to make for lemmy in a short amount of time for no other reason than because you are being entitled come off as dick ish to say the least.
He worked hard on the app. And the community asked him to do it and he made it in short order and needs to live off it. You dont like it or think its to expensive then That's cool dont buy it. But going out of your way to slag it... fuck that.
Apparently saying an app is expensive and i'd rather have the alternative one is considered dick-ish.
Lj is cool in my book, i don't agree with the price, but man the fanboi surrounding him and blow smoke up his ass is truly special one.
Ohh and i don't care about downvote, this isn't reddit anymore, time to grow up.
Finding out who you're talking to is actually... kind of a lot more mature than, "Wat?"
HAHAHHAHA
Great joke, but okay. "Wat" because your original comment is so out of touch and so one-sided.
I haven't seen 1 person tell someone that they should get Sync and act like it's a moral obligation to do that one thing.
I've seen people say they've felt that they felt happy or obliged to support the dev, but that's not the same.
What I have seen on Lemmy, repeatedly, is stunted little "adults" waltzing around moralizing about things that they feel they should feel about.
It's like watching left leaning fundies worry about "the wrong gender" using a restroom. It's just not something worth spending hours telling people they're doing it wrong.
It is, however, worth telling the arbitrary gatekeepers that they're not going to be successful.
To return to point: I'm not hung up on downvotes, but they are an objective metric. That comment of mine got 3 downvotes. 3. That's not in anyway indicative of a lack of cogency or being in left field.
Bro, you make lemmy look like the average IQ can only go up. As can the discourse.
You sure?
I sure doesn't see anyone moralizing this stuff. If calling stuff expensive with no regional pricing is "moralizing" the thing, then ohh boy i feels like your last line is actually talking about yourself.
In fact i feels like your whole talking point can be apply to yourself lol.
You're misrepresenting that post.
Par for the course.
The only moral "obligations" I've drawn are: Treat people civilly or be ready for incivility Have enough sense to mind your own fucking business.
I'm not going to tell you you're wrong for shopping around the free stuff. And you shouldn't tell me I shouldn't be happy having found something I've liked for years. Or call me a sucker. Or be derisive.
But arguing with fools is a fool's errand. Have the last word. Just don't embarrass yourself.
Lemmy sure inherit a lot from Reddit, including the level 100 mental gymnastics lol.
But yes, i shouldn't continue arguing with fools.
Edit: beside, i never said i want it to be free. It is expensive and the alternative is free and is equally good. I guess i shouldn't argue with fools from the beginning after all as they only come in with full emotion.
