Leaving Lemmy World (lemmy.ml)

I enjoyed my time being here and helping to grow this community. My plan was to keep things such as book of the month and show discussions going indefinitely. It's sad to say goodbye as I would love to continue to try my best at facilitating discussion and help this community become a great resource for science fiction fans everywhere. Unfortunately, I don't have a choice as lemmy.world admins have made the rather baffling decision to ban my account despite no rules being broken. Unless I hear back from Ruud on the matter and the situation is rectified there is no way for me to continue to enjoy discussing science fiction with all of you here. I'm unsure if I will attempt to restart this community on another instance.

Keep on loving science fiction. You guys are great. 🚀

Specifically they are upset that I've mentioned that Sync has ads in it. Which is both curious and suspicious. I'd rather not think up conspiracy theories, but it doesn't make any reasonable kind of sense. If you can decipher this strange behavior then I'd be curious to know. Whatever makes this "toxic" is beyond my current understanding of the situation.

Very odd behavior. I’ve never used sync as I’m on iPhone but it’s been wild to me seeing the drove of users it has and the defense they have for any type of critique towards it. This takes that to an entirely new level. Speak about it and be banned.

Do apps like Sync require hosting of some kind? Almost any free app should have ads in it unless you want a paid version which doesn't. People should be paid for their work.
