I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync's developer, Lemmy's developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home instance up will accelerate the incredible growth of lemmy!

I happily supported the dev. Just as I had happily supported the server.

OP mentions sync, you mention sync, I mention sync (eww thats crass), you mention sync... first line comments mention sync in frustrated tones. Are you going to lecture them too?

I know the misrepresent-and-fatigue strategy of argumentation and I'm not going to play. I've seen it a surprising amount here on Lemmy and you're doing it now.

If honesty or integrity don't mean a lot to you, I'd recommend turning over the soap box.

On topic, again: you, along with others, have persuaded me to cease donations but I don't retreat like you may hope.

This bastian of class resentment is going to have to adapt or close. If everyone here is what I'm seeing, I hope the person running the server has deep pockets. Or I guess everyone keeps instance hopping until everyone realizes it's not sustainable and instances aren't spun up.

I'm not wealthy, in the least, but I don't expect things for free. Lemmy has taught me I should. I'll apply that to the servers and development.
