Oh no my $20 for a lifetime purchase of removing ads from an app I've enjoyed using for like a decade. ๐ฅฑ
I think the point of the post is ain't nobody donating $20 to the Lemmy platform or host or other apps
This meme implies that Sync is taking all the donations though. The people donating to Sync didn't stop donating to Lemmy to do so
Yea this is the thing I keep saying. Who cares about if you're paying $20 for an app if that's what you want to do. Just remember to help out the instances who are running things to make that app work. I think a lot of people realize this and that's great, but I'm sure some people also don't. So, instead of circlejerking about Sync being $20, it would have been better for make one or two posts days ago with that reminder and leave it be. Instead, we see the circlejerk continuing days later.
I agree. Although I was surprised that my insurance rejected all forms of donation. It's pretty small, though.
My instance shut down donos because they were bringing in way more than they needed and are sitting on years of server costs at current usage. I was donating when they were open, though.
I'm signed up the patreon for mine, they're gonna get more than $20 over time
A new platform like Lemmy needs to establish trust and reliability for a certain time period before it can expect people to give back something. Something that the Sync developer has established already for a decade now.
Assuming that Lemmy continues to flourish well, I will be perfectly happy to donate to Lemmy, in fact I'm quite sure that in the long run I'll donate a lot more to Lemmy than the one time purchase cost of Sync.
I agree. As an immigrant from reddit, I have noticed a lot of server instability. It doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling about the future of Lemmy.
My instance doesn't take donations at the moment. I'll definitely contribute once there's something.
same as well.
Sir that's not your $20, that's ops money to decide what you do with it
Here take the last of my reddit gold ๐ช
Just like the lifetime purchase I made for Sync for Reddit, right?
I mean, take that up with Reddit. Hopefully, lemmy doesn't somehow stop people from using apps.
Besides I'm happy to pay for the development costs of him porting the entire thing to use lemmy instead super fast, whilst being really responsive to any issues and questions. Of the 5 apps on my phone, sync feels the best to me so I'm cool supporting it.
