I was looking forward to trying Sync today now that it’s live, but my enthusiasm was immediately dampened after seeing the “Data Safety” section on the Google Play store.
Liftoff has been great, and want to say thanks for making an awesome app. This will continue to be my daily driver.
Edit: for clarity, because the post got way bigger than I expected.
Sync looks like a fantastic app, and the dev/s should charge whatever they feel is fair for their efforts, even if that’s through the usual ads + ad tracking.
My intent was just to post here in /c/Liftoff to thank the Liftoff devs for managing to somehow offer an awesome app without any of that.
I’ve been pretty frustrated with the gatekeeping and no true Scotsman crap going on with Lemmy lately. I’m even trying sync. But this is an area where I think the refugees need to start listening.
Infinite growth is not the only goal a community could ever want. And it’s not the goal of many Lemmy instances. An active community is good enough, in most cases.
