MODERATORS
Not the person you were replying to but it does get a bit much when a thread isn't about Sync - like this one for example, which is trying to draw attention to funding Lemmy development and instance sustainability - and then it gets hit with people talking about how much they love Sync and they're happy to pay for it.
You realize this branch started with someone adding 0 content about supporting the server or lemmy?
I'm not sure if this is your first time using threaded conversation based software but that's really not how a thread works.
This is what I see in Jerboa.
Is that not the first response to OP on this branch?
Please see my previous response.
Is this a point about using the word, "branch."
Or you pointing out that conversation organically drifts? Or something else?
Again this is organic. A large influx of sync users started being active on Lemmy. It will fade out in a matter of days.
I understand the sentiment but honestly feel like people are creating unnecessary drama. This is just a temporary trend just like we had days and days of beans meme which was also mildly annoying after 5/6 days.
True, drama hits everywhere, but it can easily be avoided in a post about the importance of supporting lemmy development and instance sustainability by not going on that post to comment how much you personally love a for-profit app. Or any app in fact.
My guy go read the threads title
My guy read the actual post.
They are both the submission. Unfortunately OP made sync's cost part of the topic and the pivot point into a reasonable ask.
Headlines matter and cannot be completely separated from the entirety of the message.
Y'know, most people are capable of nuance and ascertaining meaning from context.
