We're ALL Reddit/Lemmy on this blessed day.

Can't wait for Sync to let me login to my kbin account too! Also, I greatly prefer kbins showing the upvotes and downvotes on posts, wish Lemmy had that...

Hear hear!

I too dream of a world where we've moved on from capitalism to a socialist utopia like is in the United Federation of Planets, but we are not currently in that world. So until that time, we all have to earn a living to pay our landlords and feed ourselves.

For most things we are given a choice between ads or paying, and I almost always choose paying for no ads as I can't stand them either. But until developers can live without bills and only do work for free because they enjoy it, our choice remains pay for no ads or be served ads. So I paid for no ads.

My reply to all the naysayers:

Thanks for making Lemmy feel like home, it wouldn't without you!

The reality is it's a free world, regardless of what morality you put on things there are going to be things that happen that you don't like. That's life.

Like it or not Lemmy has had explosive growth because of apps like Sync. Because of them being killed off by Reddit. If it weren't for the drama of Reddit doing that, I and millions of other users wouldn't be here right now as we'd still be on Reddit.

Even people who weren't using the 3rd party apps left Reddit because Reddit's actions left a bad taste in their mouths.

So, morality of one guy charging for his honest work in creating the paid or ad supported app aside, you should be thanking the apps including sync for helping drive so many users to Lemmy.

If you yourself don't want to use a paid app, then that's okay! We're all allowed to respond or react to things how we want, but being incredibly divisive for something that a lot of people wanted and that really is inconsequential is almost universally frowned on.

Just let people do what they want and don't shoot them down for it. More options for browsing Lemmy = more Lemmings = more content.

Much love my dudes! We may disagree on this but we agree on many many many more things I'm sure, just because we're on Lemmy instead of Reddit in the first place is proof of that! ✌️

Oh man, Sync is just so great and only $20 to get no ads you should give it a try!

Shhhh. I couldn't find an equivalent meme with Android (I didn't even notice TBH), so pretend I hacked an iPhone to run android 😂.

Found it.

Most Americans have no clue what the rest of the world is like.

Most Americans don't even understand the progressive income tax system we have, they will go so far as to decline raises because it'll put them in a higher bracket and they think that will mean less take home pay. It doesn't! You should always take a raise!

I believe I'll someday move to a country that has good policies for everything from healthcare, to work life balance, and social safety nets, and I'll never have to deal with the American nightmare again.

I'll add that I also wish I could go to the doctor anytime for any reason even if it's just for a big particular pimple or a wart, and not have to think about the bill.

Not have to think is this worth spending $100+ on when it may go away on its own, or that I should just Google it instead of going to an actual doctor so I can save that money instead. This is WITH insurance btw. This is 10 fold worse with no insurance.

God I wish I lived in a country with that kind of medical system.

I'm sick of being afraid of getting hurt (enough to need to visit a doctor at a hospital) not because of the injury to my body but the unknowable-ahead-of-time-and-might-also-bankrupt-you bill.

Fuck the selfish people in this country who are ruining it for everyone because they don't want "undeserving" people getting free healthcare! Drives me bonkers!!!
