My reply to all the naysayers:

Thanks for making Lemmy feel like home, it wouldn't without you!

The reality is it's a free world, regardless of what morality you put on things there are going to be things that happen that you don't like. That's life.

Like it or not Lemmy has had explosive growth because of apps like Sync. Because of them being killed off by Reddit. If it weren't for the drama of Reddit doing that, I and millions of other users wouldn't be here right now as we'd still be on Reddit.

Even people who weren't using the 3rd party apps left Reddit because Reddit's actions left a bad taste in their mouths.

So, morality of one guy charging for his honest work in creating the paid or ad supported app aside, you should be thanking the apps including sync for helping drive so many users to Lemmy.

If you yourself don't want to use a paid app, then that's okay! We're all allowed to respond or react to things how we want, but being incredibly divisive for something that a lot of people wanted and that really is inconsequential is almost universally frowned on.

Just let people do what they want and don't shoot them down for it. More options for browsing Lemmy = more Lemmings = more content.

Much love my dudes! We may disagree on this but we agree on many many many more things I'm sure, just because we're on Lemmy instead of Reddit in the first place is proof of that! ✌️

Well put. Also, I hope this whole topic dies soon.
