Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P

If its closed source, have a subscription model, and collects data i would rather not use that 3rd party app. Those things come before UX for me and if you are someone who came from reddit(like me) instead of payin for an api key and still use 3rd party app you must have the same side with me or you are just lying to yourself or dont know why left reddit(i expressed this situation with stupidity).

As i said, there is a lot more content on reddit, go over there pay what you pay to sync for lemmy and use reddit. Same thing with lots of more content.

You are entitled to make any assumptions you want about my choice. I'm glad you have your criteria for choosing the platforms and apps you like, and I celebrate that.

Unfortunately, you don't really know my reasoning for my choice of platform and app, so telling me to go to Reddit based on your mis-assumptions about why I like Lemmy and Sync really highlights the core issue here.

Anyway, good luck to you bud. I hope you have a great Friday.
