Do you people just hate anyone who receives money?
Yes.
No. But focusing on supporting one single app instead of the platform is not sustainable for the platform. This meme is just a reminder to support the platform as well.
I haven’t seen a single call to action to donate to Lemmy other than the static sidebar on desktop. Something like that would be far more helpful than complaining about previous Sync users continuing to donate to Sync. Nothing is being taken from Lemmy, Sync already had a big user base and is bringing many of them over here thanks to the app. Let’s call to action to them to donate to instances instead of complaining.
Crabs in a barrel
Why a antisemitic meme? Do you hate Jews?
Sees greedy businessman bourgeois -> thinks it means Jews. You sure you aren’t the anti-semite here?
I saw an earlier post that showed Lemmy’s recent rapid growth followed by a plateau and then slight decline. My feeling is that there is a very LOUD minority of Lemmy users that are trying to act as self-anointed gatekeepers and they’re bringing the platform down as a direct consequence. It makes the platform look petty and small to new and existing users alike. If the top posts are continually about shaming other users then this platform isn’t going to last. Let’s focus on building communities and having interesting conversations rather than one upping each other.
this is dumb, sync is free
Leave reddit cause you can’t use your preferred app anymore. Come to Lemmy, and get beat over the head for your choice of preferred app.
It’s more like one dev made the best user experience on lemmy, so people give him money. At least that’s the case for me.
Oh fuck off.
Who let spez make a Lemmy account?
Hey OP why don’t you start by sharing your donation receipts to Lemmy?
Use Lemmy, y’all!
Nooo not like that!
This whining is so pathetic.
Oh no my $20 for a lifetime purchase of removing ads from an app I’ve enjoyed using for like a decade. 🥱
I think the point of the post is ain’t nobody donating $20 to the Lemmy platform or host or other apps
My instance shut down donos because they were bringing in way more than they needed and are sitting on years of server costs at current usage. I was donating when they were open, though.
This meme implies that Sync is taking all the donations though. The people donating to Sync didn’t stop donating to Lemmy to do so
Yea this is the thing I keep saying. Who cares about if you’re paying $20 for an app if that’s what you want to do. Just remember to help out the instances who are running things to make that app work. I think a lot of people realize this and that’s great, but I’m sure some people also don’t. So, instead of circlejerking about Sync being $20, it would have been better for make one or two posts days ago with that reminder and leave it be. Instead, we see the circlejerk continuing days later.
