I think the issue is sync users cost instances money but does not pay those instances.

[–] ShustOne@lemmy.one 20 points 1 year ago

I mean isn't that true for literally every user that doesn't pay? I'm not sure why we are mad at Sync users when we don't even have a strong call to action to donate to instances.

"use my instance please"

"No not like that!"

Holy fuck this is what we left Reddit to avoid...

Lemmy had a garbage web UI. And the other apps I have used are not nearly as smooth as sync.

You think Sync users don't also donate? I paid for sync and donated to Lemmy's development. Considering donating to my 2 main instances as well.

Maybe Lemmy instances should bill third party apps for API calls, hmmm?

[–] Hyperi0n@lemmy.film 2 points 1 year ago

Ok so they've paid just as much is what you're saying

[–] APassenger@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We pay.

You assume.

It's junior level reasoning.

[–] gowan@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Im explaining what the comic is saying. You assume and without any evidence. That's a bad look
