Yet the one most popular is infested with ads, tracking, and subscriptions. Not giving back or contributing to the opensource devs at all.
I blocked that community as it felt the dev has paid actors trying to promote its $100 price tag and people are blindly falling for it.
The ad free version is $20... Still steep but for an app I am going to use every day multiple times a day with it to me.
Lemmy doesn't have ads.
I'm not sure what your point is?
That's why you pay.
Hey man. You should download Sync
I don't use Google crap.
Too bad. Google knows all about you haha.
How do they when I only use Foss apps with no tracking and pay for Kagi instead of Google?
I'm sorry you sold your identity to them, but not everyone has.
Bet they do. Because of shitty devs.
