Yes, it’s not my business, I’ve stated that I don’t care about this argument several times. I simply gave my .02. If you are profiting off of a FOSS project, you should atleast feel obligated to donate some of that money to the devs.
Why can’t you disclose donations (didn’t say anything about charity)? The entire point of charity isn’t supposed to “make you feel good” or make you seem better in the eyes of people, it is to support a project or cause at the end of the day, those are just side effects of donating.
Your statement on open source software is not really how it works. Yes, a dev could leave today, A dev. You think Lemmy was made by a single dev? And even then, like you said it is OPEN SOURCE. Somebody will fork it, and they will be the new person that you can support. You should absolutely support your favorite FOSS devs because they essentially work a second job for free. Yes, pay doesn’t create production, but it DOES create incentive to keep working on a project, potentially full time if enough come in. You know, like what the sync dev is doing?
If you can’t understand this, then I can’t understand your logic behind supporting sync.
crybabys throwing tantrums over jokes
Lol, what’s the joke here? Doesn’t seem like a joke to me. And you’re right, it IS a SHIT post, but this is a sub for shitposts. There is a difference you know.
go somewhere else dude, complaining yadayadayada
And which community exactly? The Sync community or the Lemmy community? All I said is that I’m fucking tired of seeing this stupid debate brought up everywhere (as I said, EVERYWHERE) by sync fanboys and sync haters. Those people are not the community, it’s LEMMY, not SYNC. There are communities specifically for this, go bitch and moan on those specific communities instead of infecting everything else with this ridiculous debate.
Literally all I’m saying is that the sync dev is going to be making a pretty decent chunk of change for essentially making a Lemmy front end that works on your phone. I don’t understand how you can think that “it’s okay to pay to remove ads and tracking” to support the dev but not think the same for the Lemmy devs. They literally fall flat on each other, if you believe that the sync dev shouldn’t at his own will donate a miniscule amount of money to the project, that logic could be applied to the app itself? Why wouldn’t you just use another app? Why would you use an app that includes ads and trackers unless you paid to remove them, over one that does the exact same thing for free?
People are getting way too heated over this. It is an app for fucks sake. If you are seriously this fanatical about a single app, you are terminally online and need to go outside. Even the 3rd party app debacle on reddit was less radical than this. I cannot even begin to understand the reasoning behind moving to Lemmy just to spend all of your time talking about an app, that you would normally use to talk about other things.
