I had to search for what MAGA is.

Make America great again?

I’m not american.

Oh, I already added that a few days ago. Thanks for trying to help though.

Welp, that was something to read

The second bad take lmao. Is this actually from lemmy?

I’d normally agree. I don’t really like when someone responds with “nobody asked” to me or someone else.

But I really don’t think a comment such as “I’m glad I can buy sync again” is appropriate for posts such as this. OP came to remind us to donate to lemmy devs as one of the main topics of lemmy is about sync now. The OP and the users who clicked this post didn’t come to see comments like those from those specific sync users.

As for calling them a cult, I apologize for that.

Again, I also agree “nobody asked” isn’t really a healthy way to proceed but those comments really do feel irrelevant. I have no idea what their purpose is here.

Seriously why do you care ?

Hmm, I’m not sure how much I actually do. It’s mostly these posts coming to my feed automatically and this is like the main lemmy topic today.

The sync cult however seem to be as annoying as they were on reddit.

This is very weird for me because I was very active on reddit for many years and was subscribed to the android and sync subreddits. Barely ever seen any comments or posts about sync.

Hmm, maybe I shouldn’t actually have called them a cult after thinking through more. But I do find some of what they do annoying like what I mentioned before.

If you had a lot of interaction about sync on reddit, I have to believe it’s because you were looking for that type of content. Or maybe you had a very narrow selection of subreddits. I don’t know.

Sync was mostly drama free but there were two things I noticed on reddit.

1. Sometimes when free version users come to troubleshoot an issue, premium users would try to convince them to buy the pro version to support the developer without offering a solution(most likely because they can’t offer a solution). I was in many different third party apps and this was absurd to me. I don’t recall seeing anything like this in any of the other third party app subreddits. A reason behind this might be the large userbase. Sync has a much larger userbase than most third party android apps. Also, sync dev and the moderators were chill. It was just comments from random users.

2. The developer once released a major update which many old time users didn’t like. They raged to the point that the sync dev took a pretty long break to the point people were wondering if sync was abandoned or not. Even his own moderators lost contact with him. I wasn’t even subscribed to the sync subreddit when this happened and l learned of it like a few weeks or maybe a month or two later from I think r/androidapps or a similar subreddit where people were discussing their favourite third party apps.

So, nope. Sync isn’t drama free completely and my selection of subreddits definitely weren’t narrow(I had to make multiple custom feeds at the end).

I want to add again that I’m satisfied with the sync dev’s work and decision. It’s not wrong to want to profit from your work.

Sync dev wanting something worth for the all the work they’re doing is fine imo. You can tell he put a lot of effort into the app.

The sync cult however seem to be as annoying as they were on reddit. They are like this when we discuss anything about sync’s pricing even on non sync communities.

“I’m so happy I can buy sync again”

“Sync is the best”

“No other 3PA can compare to it in my experience”

This is one of the few times I feel like “nobody asked” applies.

I’m pretty sure I saw the speculater guy multiple times before

In Bangladesh? I’m surprised my country is one of the first ones to get it…

Edit: Oddly, it says coming soon from play store app. I had to tell it to install on my device from the website.

I’m not using kitkat btw

NOOOOO

Aw man

Are there any releases yet? I tried looking but I’m not familiar with codeberg. Obtainium can’t seem to grab it from the link directly either

Seriously, it feels like established social medias are trying to kill themselves lol

What’s the reason for mastodon to gain so many new users now suddenly? Didn’t Elon Musk start wrecking it quite a while ago?

Same. One of the reasons I don’t use it. I think a reason they don’t priotise is because it supports both android and iOS. Not all users would see it.

I immediately became a bit upset when I read this post and realized US defaultism was going to happen on lemmy too now. Very annoying thing.

Oh, thanks got the advice. I’ll try it in VM first then maybe.

I’m in my early 20s :(

I do want to try switching to linux though

Much more freedom
