Appreciation post for Liftoff not collecting user data or injecting ads. (lemm.ee)

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.

But lemmy doesn't have ads?

It's a monetization strategy for the work he's put into the app. I see why people don't like it but I never intended to see a single ad in Sync anyway

Ahhh that's a no from me. I'd pay if I like it, but injecting ads into the feed and I'm out. Just trying liftoff now. Seems solid.
