The gatekeeping is so fucked up

[–] Unquote0270@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Am I missing something? What gatekeeping?

[–] bonfire921@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

The fact that people shit on every proprietary software saying FOSS is better.

While FOSS is definitely good for the consumer. Proprietary is sometimes just better in function ¯\(ツ)/¯

All the people you find here fled from a proprietary platform that was abusing its position of power in order to profit off its users. While Sync for Lemmy is not in the same ballpark it nonetheless shares the same proprietary nature of reddit as it is a proprietary client that connects to a platform that is completely FOSS. So I believe it is entirely valid to campaign against the use of Sync for Lemmy and educate everyone about its dangers (loss of freedom, trust can't be verified, abusive relationship)

I didn't join Lemmy because of the ideology behind the project I joined it because I didn't approve of what the owners of reddit were doing.

If the Sync dev starts ruining the app I'll get a different one for the same reason I made a Lemmy account.
