I've been using the app for the past day+ and I only get an ad every 25 posts and none everywhere else, even comments. I prefer foss, been using linux since 2018, but I don't see why every dev should have to contribute if they don't want to. At the end of the day, it means more active users on lemmy. What every person puts on their phone is up to them. (I also might switch to infinity now that it's out too.)

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.

That's because it literally just came out. I don't know how else to break it to you.

They'll stop talking about it by next week.

Like an advertisement campaign you mean.
