    contains adds

    contains in-app purchases

    collects data

    shares data with 3d party orgs

    Nothing against sync, but this is not what I’d expect from lemmy app tbh. There’s a lot of free open source options that don’t sell your data.

    Asking to be paid for your job is OK, but injecting ads in ad-free opensource service, selling user data? This is just reddit-app-moment in my opinion

      Tell me you’ve never paid for a service, without telling me you’ve never paid for a service

      Sync does not sell user data. It uses only the basic prerequisites for an ad service Settings shortcut: Privacy > Privacy policy

      If an independent developer, who has worked on an app for 10 years, and has had their work ruined by a greedy company, turns around and makes an app for an entirely new community, within a month of losing his main source of revenue, and it’s as polished, smooth, and user-friendly as can be, doesn’t deserve to put food on the table, then quite simply, you’re incredibly misinformed.
