No it doesn't. There have beem tons of foss apps better than paid apps, and also the other way around. It doesn't mean anything regarding the quality of the project.
As a user, the only thing you can be sure about, is that if the developer of a closed app gets hit by a bus, a stranger can't just pick up the development. Other than that nothing is certain.
Sure, but it's just a Lemmy client. If the Sync dev gets hit by a bus, I'll just download a different client, plug my creds into that and be back to shitposting in a minute or two. All the important data is on the server.
Yea, fortunately it's not a case of someone monopolising the market.
