    Just paying a visit to lemmy because Sync is out, and all I’ve seen is this. Lemmy is just another reddit, isn’t it? People here are no better than what they believe themselves to be, still the same everywhere.

      I’ll have you know real Lemmy users don’t use any app, we tap HTTPS requests in binary directly onto an Ethernet cable, computing the TLS handshake mentally.

      You are correct, people here are just as braindead as reddit. They have that superiority complex going on too, it’s pretty funny.

      This probably speaks a bit to the fact that reddit in itself was nothing special, and the people were making it what that is and what it ain’t was before it could be.

      People moved here, so we’re seeing that here now. Reddit was a loss in the same way your favourite pub closing down was - ye had to find a new place.

      Now, erm, clears throat… This is the way.

      Well so far everything on lemmy has run on the goodwill of instance owners, lemmy maintainers, and app developers working for free. Sync as far I can tell is the only thing so far to bring an openly capitalist approach to lemmy, and it depends on the free hosting that instance owners are providing. I don’t have any problems with people wanting paid for their work. However, I can see how it’s a little jarring to see an app charge such a subscription fee while some big instances are struggling with hosting costs and likely pulling in much less in donations.

      Lemmy is in fact just another link aggregator, albeit a better one, and the app build for it is trying too hard to be reddit, with no feature that’s closer to lemmy than reddit. So yes lemmy is reddit.
