As an OG Reddit Sync user of over 10 years, all this arguing really brings a tear to my eye. 🥲 - eviltoast

    The only comments I personally see are complaining about the price. Most people just use it. I subscribed instantly and knew I would before the price was revealed. I’m only saying it because it’s on topic now, but tend not to get into the discussion because in the end it’s up to the individual whether or not the cost makes the app worth using.

      I use Sync because it was my favorite client for reddit but I’m definitely gonna hold out on paying until there is a sale or something. My usage of Lemmy is not that high at the moment.

        And I would never say that anyone should pay for something unless they feel it to be worth the price. Just like I wouldn’t tell someone not to pay for it because I think the price is too high for me.

        I’ve used Sync for as many years as I was on reddit. I paid almost nothing for the app back then compared to the amount of time I’ve spent on it. I feel like the whole discussion on price is meaningless, really. Some people aren’t gonna like it, some aren’t going to care.

        Hey, I get that. A lot of people over here are very privacy conscious and I’m not against it at all. The dev just hasn’t ever given me a reason to distrust them in all the years I’ve used the app. There’s been a built up trust, so to speak.

        The control of private data is important and when I’m told that the collection stops if I have the ad free version I believe it.
