Get off your ass and help (or learn) instead of complain. It’s open source, so many resources. Better than (edit: yeah) supporting ads (or paying to get them removed which is still supporting ads).

I never judged the users.

I wouldn’t if the dev gave me some attention.

Like an advertisement campaign you mean.

Even more people can’t get Linux to run.

I use even more! (j/k)

80% of people using Android.

Contributing doesn’t make anyone a lesser human.

You gonna do that iPhone crap now just because of $tync?

I never said I was against closed source software. Learn to read before you try to engage.

If you don’t stand up for what you believe in you might as well have never existed.

And how is introducing ads and tracking (Google’s stuff) not malicious?

Bet they do. Because of shitty devs.

The quality of users went downhill fast. They want ads, so we’ll get ads. Everything on Lemmy’s “all” is about Sync. It’s marketing. People love that yes.

Just feel sorry for all the people who voluntarily put in their work. And then some dipshits start paying some front end dev 100 dollars who’s piggybacking off of the work thousands of volunteers put in.

If you think they’re worth it that’s up to you. It won’t do the community any good. It already went downhill today.

You sound like you’re married to them.

Nothing wrong with being critical, especially when it comes to ads and devs piggybacking off of open source software and communities.

I don’t use Google crap.

That’s why you pay.

I’ve been on open source since the early 90s. I know damn well how people make money off of it and who makes money off of it.

I support none of it if it starts including tracking and ads. It goes against the whole mindset. Google fanboys love it though.

Lemmy doesn’t have ads.

If you think more ads is the solution that’s good for you. Ads are society’s cancer, so I have little choice other than to block it. (Paying to get rid of ads perpetuates the idea that ads are profitable. That’s up to you.)

Lemmy doesn’t have ads. If you have to pay to remove them don’t you think something is wrong with that? Why not pay for the community and useful features instead?
