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!

Good bloody grief! How did a reminder to support Lemmy devs and hosts get hijacked by Sync fans? Sync is a completely different topic.

Yeah, maybe shouldn't have mentioned sync in my post. I was just doing as a joke though.

[–] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It’s a fine segue. I’m just surprised at how many people jumped at the chance to talk about a different topic and ignore your actual message.

Thanks for the reminder, BTW. As soon as I find a permanent home, I’ll add them to the donations list.

Wait wait, what is segue ?? 😂 in my language it means "a wanking session" lmao

[–] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 7 points 2 years ago

LOL! That's... disturbing... in this case. Funny image, though. And perhaps appropriate given how excited Sync makes some of its users. ;>

It means a smooth transition from one thing to another. In this case, using Sync to introduce the discussion about supporting devs and instances.

It means transition in English 😅

Pronounced the same as Segway. link to hear it

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Thanks TIL

What a peculiar coincidence...

[–] Deftdrummer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You are? It's quite the hot topic right now.

Sync users are annoyed getting blasted with FOSS this and that. Other client users do not need to ridicule Sync fans. Or behave like houlier than thou and teach Sync users how to spend rheir money.

[–] ram@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

They are free to stay closed-source proprietary but prople have the right to voice their opinions.

That is not holier than thou.

The title literally references Sync...if it didn't, your point would be stronger but I understand the spirit.

[–] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 4 points 2 years ago

It does, but only as a contrast to point out that others in the ecosystem also deserve support. OP's post is literally a reminder that, without devs and hosts, Sync would have no reason to exist. It's about the devs and hosts.

[–] ConfuzedAZ@lemmy.world -5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It appears to be hijacked by FOSS fans from what I see.

[–] dx1@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

All I know is I'm already sick of this anti-FOSS users narrative.

[–] ConfuzedAZ@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I don't even get how someone can be anti-foss. I feel like it's a necessity until a critical mass adopts the platform.

[–] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 2 points 2 years ago

We must be looking at different threads, unless Sync is FOSS.
