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.

Why put ads (on something with no ads) and have users pay to remove ads. And then complain people won't pay other people who put in the hard work.

That's some first class disrespect. To both users as well as platform developers.

You enjoy that first class crap.

Edit: It's official, the $ync army consists of insufferable, ball sucking douchebags.

Edit 2: Stync brought all those spez loving people over, or they paid for a marketing campaign. $100 app for some mediocre frontend shit. Insanity.

You are talking as if Sync dev went and plastered ads all over Lemmy web app, Voyager, Infinity, Connect, Thunder etc.

Those are still ad-free, so people who love them can continue using them. Those who want to pay Sync can pay Sync. Lemmy platform remains unchanged. What's the problem?

I do enjoy Sync and I hope to continue to. I ain't mad but you seem to be, I just don't understand why.
