Or maybe the extreme condition known as out of doors

I am a software developer, I understand what goes into developing software. He is allowed to value his work at whatever he thinks it’s worth.

But as users we are allowed to think he is asking too much or pushing too many ads or whatever. It’s not disrespect, it’s an opinion, about a mobile app that now has ads on the main feed and in every comment section, that only works based on a platform that is very specifically known for being open and not pushing ads. And it’s an especially high price for an app that is still very under development and has only recently just gotten an update for the first time in months, even when some features had stopped working.

I have no issues with him asking to be compensated for his work, and I am glad he makes it available for free, but the ads are getting intrusive, and we are all entitled to our opinions. I don’t think there was anything disrespectful about the way I shared my opinion, but I do think it’s crap to tell us we are being disrespectful just because you don’t share that opinion.

I have switched apps. Didn’t realize I wasn’t allowed to share my opinion.

Yea it’s a bit unfortunate. In my opinion sync is the smoothest and most polished lemmy app. I get that ljdawson should be compensated for making a great app, but the amount of ads is kinda ridiculous now and the $20 ad removal price just feels exorbitant for a mobile app.

I’m fine paying, but $20 to remove ads is a very big ask for a mobile app, when it was maybe $3 or $5 for the old reddit app. Especially so when it seems he comes and goes and updates to a very in development app have stopped for months at a time.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not making any demands, I agree with everything you say, but the ad removal option is quite a lot especially when there are many free lemmy apps too.

So you hate that PCs are more capable and can display better graphics at higher framerates and have rationalized it to yourself that worse graphics and framerates on a console are “how the developers intended”.

I can understand not wanting to tinker with settings and just load a game up and know what to expect in terms of graphics and framerate, but I just cannot disagree more with what you are saying here. Building games to console limitations and not even giving the option for fidelity or framerate just seems like a step backward.

The results of a war fought about that (and other obvious things) disagrees too.

There’s way too many people in here that either don’t know the difference between succession and secession, or don’t know how to spell, or just were too lazy to look at what they were typing or what was being autocorrected.

This is my biggest issue with lemmy. The userbase is not particularly one I want to interact with or even read their comments most of the time. And it seems there is very little room for nuance or any real differing opinions. And worse, it seems most here are convinced they are correct (though that could be everywhere). There are a few niche communities devoid of that, but they are so small that there is either very little content or the same handful of people are doing all the posting.

Love the idea of lemmy as an alternative to reddit. In practice, it’s absolutely not a place I want to fully spend my time.

Or maybe they are and you just don’t like how they are voting.

I’m not saying that’s actually the case, but that point of view always seems to be absent from these types of discussions.
