Nothing wrong at all with charging for the main version to support development as long as it's not gouging. I don't think this is gouging in the slightest.

I don't think price gouging is even possible unless you control most or all of whatever resource. Sync is one of many apps to access Lemmy, and it isn't forcing anyone to pay or even use it.

I agree. This situation is a bit different, but my point was the general idea of price gouging of a product.
