Why do people hate sync anyways

[-] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 105 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's cool to hate it, for a lot of people who moved to fediverse early, it's a matter of FOSS software and an ideology. Everyone has a flexing point in their ideology, early adopters of fediverse can't be flexible at closed source products. I personally draw my flexing boundary at large capitalist companies. Sync is developed by one guy and tbh with a way pretty UI than any of the FOSS software has (my personal opinion) so I like it. And I use it. But I understand the ideological point of FOSS everything, but I don't understand people who want FOSS everything but they contribute nothing.

Once I was exactly like you described: "people who want FOSS everything but they contribute nothing". Indeed, it was really bothering me to not contribute anything, but the reason was I didn't have much confidence about my skills. I slowly break that barrier of lacking confidence.

If there are people out there like who I was, please just go and commit anything on any project, whatever it is, doesn't matter.

I can’t wait till I am as confident as you sir. Till then, I may try updating documentation to help out

Documentation is a super important job!!! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

So are translations. Quite a few apps benefit from translations, so if you speak two or more languages helping in translation is very easy.
