Lol I love how some people share their subjective opinions and call it "the truth".
Sync is not FOSS, that's a fact.
So yes, it is truth, not opinion. Sync is a double-edged sword: on one hand, it makes many more people come in, on the other, the general ethos of the Fediverse leans towards FOSS and Sync is not FOSS.
I don't think that's a bad thing. The Lemmy and the wider Fediverse are open and using a closed source client to access that doesn't change anything. Unlike with other closed ecosystems using a closed source client doesn't impact anyone else.
