  • Guy is hundred percent right. Lemmy is a echo chamber for a certain demographic as vast majority of users are in it.

    We either have tech, or politics. Literally every topic ends up in either. We also don’t have the differing opinions aspect as just about every debater talks like they’re just the different shade of the same color.

    Even spicy news that would make any other site a warzone of opinions just echo chambered here. Literally everyone agrees on one conclusion and random two comments that disagree with that having at least -15 points.

    Seriously. I just can’t escape. I think it’s nice to have people who support xism while also having people that support yism and zism, as it creates a healthy environment where we can discuss things throughly; since each member will see, recognize, and interpret what they see differently and possibly contribute more.

    Vast majority of Lemmy users are in the same demographic which barely provides differing opinions so there’s basically nothing to discuss (apart from things do not sit well with said demographic).

    I really do hope this platform somehow attracts users from every ideology much like Tildes.

    What? These things are not related to each other by a good margin. In fact, since the FOSS is completely orderless, it goes against communism; which requires some sort of order just to be able to function. But either way, the parallel is not there or questionable at best, not to mention irrelevant.

    Can we NOT drag useless politics into FOSS?











  • Have you considered people are mad because:

    • Same purchase was a lot cheaper when it was Reddit.

    • Reddit already ran ads, so having an app who ran ads of its own was fine.

    • Monoteizing a FOSS project in a way that doesn’t help the maintainers of that project may not be seen as ethical.

    • Having a subscription for features that don’t cost anything to serve (highlighting users can be done locally for instance) might feel like an artificial limitation to drive sales.

    • The fact that it launched with both a transaction (not a small one, as it costs more than any non-professional app I bought) and a subscription service in literally the first beta of the app.

    • Combination of these with all the alternatives being all-free (both in price and as in freedom) might make people think few times before paying for this app.

    Personally, I really dislike the price, find subscription meh but I absolutely adore Sync’s UX. But honestly, without few things changing, I don’t see myself recommending Sync to friends.
