Sync VS FOSS thing isn't over yet? Let everyone use what they like the most. Let everyone be the judge of their own data and how it is being used. For god's sake, live and let live folks
Christ, closed source is not the devil, and if you treat it like it is then it shows you don't actually know how open or closed source works, or the pros and cons of both types of software.
God forbid a developer wants to own the code they write and be able to pay their bills doing it.
A fork "can be used" to stab someone in the jugular but it doesn't mean we need to get rid of all forks to ensure it never happens. People need to be smart with who they trust and who they give their money to. LJ isn't putting a gun to your head and forcing you to buy his app, but I'm gladly paying for it because I feel like he's an upstanding guy and frankly he's just better at building a good UI than anyone else on Lemmy (and yes, I've tried at least 5 different apps. Second best was Connect.)
