Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but does Sync seriously charge to remove ads that they added to browsing Lemmy in the first place? I get charging for Reddit due to the API, but I have a hard time believing the app is that much better than the existing FOSS apps such that the privacy tradeoff with ad trackers and/or the monetary cost worth it for, well, anyone really. Seems kinda scummy and antithetical to the philosophy that drives much of the Fediverse to me, yet I see so many people defending it in a way that reminds me of the rhetoric used to defend Reddit. Seriously, am I just a crazy person?
Beware of that dev. He was caught injecting Amazon commission links into his apps. He also started a mass attack on Dash for reddit & Joey for reddit dev.
Regarding the second point, he was not alone. Relay,RiF & Boost for reddit devs were also involved in it. Funny how they did the same thing later they accused those poor devs of.
FYI, I think you might be telling the truth, but you really shouldn't make serious accusations like that without at least including a source...
This happened 4 to 7 years ago. Well documented on reddit. Reddit search is terrible so difficult to find. I was one of the few to defend Dash for reddit dev & codesforliving (Joey dev)
Yeah, that's... still not a source. Let me remind you: you made the claim, you need to back it up with facts or a source! (If you want us to take you seriously, I mean.)
Remember, Keanu Reeves said that unsourced commenters should be kicked down a flight of stairs. It's on Reddit somewhere...
damn thats crazy but source?
These happened few years ago. I was one of the few to defend Dash for reddit dev & codesforliving (Joey dev).
They accused them of copying their app but later shamelessly copied Joey.
Dash for reddit dev too gave a befitting reply. He was also willing to show them the code.
Reddit search function is terrible so I'm unable to find
