Appreciation post for Liftoff not collecting user data or injecting ads. (lemm.ee)

I was looking forward to trying Sync today now that it's live, but my enthusiasm was immediately dampened after seeing the "Data Safety" section on the Google Play store.

Liftoff has been great, and want to say thanks for making an awesome app. This will continue to be my daily driver.

Edit: for clarity, because the post got way bigger than I expected.

Sync looks like a fantastic app, and the dev/s should charge whatever they feel is fair for their efforts, even if that's through the usual ads + ad tracking.

My intent was just to post here in /c/Liftoff to thank the Liftoff devs for managing to somehow offer an awesome app without any of that.

Yeah, the sync dev has learned from Spez.

Thanks Liftoff!

Ok ok, was a bit harsh here :)

Just because he’s trying to earn a living doesn’t mean he’s ‘literally spez!’ or whatever lol

Huh? Not really, you can't compare a badass good dev with a poor whiney CEO.

I am just really disappointed.

What did you expect?

Users literally asked for this since the very beginning of Sync for Reddit death, remember other apps were not as polished as Sync for Reddit was.

Now we have some good options, so I don't understand why you are disappointed.
