    I doubt anyone who says this has donated to their Lemmy instance.

    The truth is, humans try to justify their purchases. You didn’t want to pau for Sync, you would have happily used it for free.

    You want to feel good for having paid for Sync.

      I pay for Sync and Telegram. Telegram doesn’t even have ads, I just want to throw money at the things that provide me entertainment and value on a daily basis. Just because you don’t like to pay for things doesn’t mean you should project that mindset onto other people.

      I paid for sync for Reddit, I donated to my Lemmy instance and I’ll pay for Sync for Lemmy once I decide for myself whether I take the subscription, simply ad free or one time payment for ultra. As there’s still fixes to the pricing going on I’ll wait out for that

      I guess I’m biased with paying for software since I work at a company that makes software it also offers in its’ own SaaS platform. I literally maintain the infrastructure so I’m intimately familiar with those costs. I appreciate anyone who offers software and service for free. But there’s always a cost and if you want premium service you’ll need to pay for it.

      That is ofcourse another justification and easy one since paying for sync is almost nothing to me. I do hope the free Sync keeps being a good alternative for anyone who wants to try it.

      I don’t want to feel good. I DO feel good. The truth is there would be no need to justify anything were it not for all the FOSS zealots throwing shade instead of just minding their business. Stop worrying about whether we feel good, and start thinking about why you want others to feel bad.
