What are you mumbling, lol. Your reply isn't even an answer, but some hallucination. Go on, flex your imaginary rich-ness where people applaud you for that. $20 is nothing for me too, but I have some brains to invest it elsewhere. Sync sucks, prove me wrong, lol. Or pay me to change my opinion, lol.
Yes, I think that. Like I wrote of Threadiverse taking over other instances before with their userbase if they get federated (maybe not on that acc). This place needs to be kept safe and sound. 10mil of Instagram users and Sync shills may actively damage it.
It may snowball into other apps wanting it too? The first to take this step out of blue is asking to face some resistance. It's natural. I'm surprised no one else is against them.
