Aside from what @dska22@lemmy.world said, these are different times. Serie A is much more brutal now with more competition and the continued dominance of PL as the super money league. Every club wants the best for themselves unlike how it was during late 80s/90s or early 00s where an overflowing amount of talent was in Serie A.
He absolutely didn't mean it either.
You can, go into settings.
A lemmy community for bugs woud be very hard to keep track of. Discord allows segmented, real time conversations which is simply better.
lemmy.world is having a DDoS attack, please use another instance.
From the discussions I have seen, there's going to be an IAP for ad-free.
Oh and please note that bugs should be reported in #sync-support-and-bugs in the discord: https://discord.gg/qYWxqva or the github.
LJ has been working very hard - this is beta 24 from no betas a week ago.
And again, it is a beta - some features like Ad-free IAP and submissions are not there, but they will be in there eventually.
There will be a single time payment for ad-free as was the case with Sync for Reddit. Any subscription based model is for the features which are going to require running (and paying) for a server. Even for Ultra (the paid subscription model) we would most likely have a lifetime option.
Chess.com and Lichess
I would really suggest people to read their privacy policy - it is horrible. Good app but makes no sense for the exchange of privacy it demands.
