Imagine caring what app other people use.
I care in the sense that if a lot of other people are happy with a different client, I want to try it myself.
Imagine caring about people caring
Weird. I downloaded synch and didnt pay a cent. Is there a pay version?
they mean free as in freedom,

You're not a real Linux user unless you bitch about other people's software choices
The more popular your personal favorite app is, the more attention it will get from developers, this making your app better.
See, it's not just about caring about somebody else's preferences.
Kinda throws the chrome comparison out the window
Which chrome comparison?
Oh sorry, there is another comment where someone compared this to Firefox and Chrome
Yeah it's not like that the majority of people using e.g. Chrome over FOSS alternative like Firefox has any repercussions, why would we care, right?
Nobody is forcing you to use sync, hell nobody is even asking you to try it. So why not stop being one of the spiteful angry assholes that is driving people away from Lemmy.
Interesting that you got "spiteful angry asshole" from my comment lol
Yeah, I was wondering where that part of the comment came from as well...
"Spiteful angry asshole" is a dumb response. I agree with everything else.
That’s a bit on a different scale than what client apps people use for lemmy
Sure but it's the same concept of why we should care what others are using, which was what the comment I replied to critisized.
