If apps were girls:
I was always in love with Sync. But life happened and we had to go different ways for non-romantic reasons. Some fucker called Spez, long story...
Eventually I met Voyager and she was great. Any user would be lucky to have her. But Sync was always the one that got away. Everyday I looked at Voyager and thought she was awesome but I was always holding a candle for Sync. But Sync was gone and I had to move on. But I could never really move on.
But life happened again and Sync was coming back. I had committed to Voyager but, as great as she was, I always thought how she came short of Sync. Sync came back and she was as stunning as I remembered. I couldn't stay with Voyager. I'm sorry Voyager. You're an awesome girl but I was pretty much just using you since I couldn't have Sync.
I'm a user Voyager, I make no excuses. There, there...
Finally, the Lemmy fanfiction I was waiting for
What AO3 tag is this?
LemmyAll, LemmySync, LemmyBoost, LemmyVoyager, LemmyConnect, LemmyJerboa, and lastly LemmyInfinity
I ditched Voyager the moment Sync came back.
No sync is the first love. The official Reddit app is the prostiute.
No, there's a free version. With about 1/100, the ads the official Reddit app has.
I wouldn't demand a haircut for free, or commission a painting for free, or ask someone to a fancy restaurant, then demand we go Dutch.
Sync has a developer who I chose to compensate for their work. I would've done the same for connect. I would like people to get compensated for the work they do. It's great to get something for free, but I am not entitled to their free labor.
But somethings are worth paying for.
No you're just super stuck on this really bad analogy.
Sync is a prostitute in the same way a hair dresser is. Your mom can slap a bowl on your head and cut your hair for free.
Sync is free if you don't pay 20$ to remove the ads. The payment is more of a way to support the dev really, since you can get rid of ads by other means.
I would much rather pay some money for a great app though than use something non-functional because it's free.
Me except I'm using liftoff to fill the hole in the void for infinity
I'm waiting patiently for infinity for lemmy
Liftoff has broken spell check :(
There's a lemmy fork of Infinity, hence it's inclusion in this meme. No idea what state it's in atm tho, I use connect.
Wait no more.
Whoa!
I saw no releases and not much activity on the github so was concerned!
I'll switch tomorrow, thanks!
had to scroll back up to downvote this one lol the cringe is unbearable
Also, Sync is high-maintenance and demands you spend money on her to avoid listening to her giving you sales pitches, unlike Voyager.
