Comment on As an OG Reddit Sync user of over 10 years, all this arguing really brings a tear to my eye. đĽ˛

They create a baseline that paid apps have to surpass, but thereâs nothing wrong with devs getting paid for their work and that payment shouldnât have to be at the whims of donations. I view it as more choice and more choice is good. This is a small dev on an open platform that canât lock out FOSS options. Itâs not a mega corp building a monopoly. Sync is not hurting anyone by being a paid option.

Wouldnât they see this as a dev trying to make some fortune over non-profit service?
Not sure though if the dev already automatically donates a portion of his sells to lemmy.

On the other hand, Iâd like to see how the donations to non-profits are being utilized. At least with for-profit we know whatâs what.
