    Sync is just so much more polished and feature-rich than all of these already… It’s exactly like how it was when it was for reddit, and it’s just one dev! I don’t mind at all paying for a fantastic app.

    You guys are taking the justified corpo hate and extending it to talented individual devs just making a living.

      FOSS isn’t about “corpo hate”. It’s about freedom. There’s a philosophy behind it. You can, of course, disagree with it, but I think you should know what you’re disagreeing with.

      If the users don’t control the program, the program controls the users. With proprietary software, there is always some entity, the developer or “owner” of the program, that controls the program—and through it, exercises power over its users. A nonfree program is a yoke, an instrument of unjust power.

        I’m talking about the community. A large part of the community absolutely is about gate-keeping and hating on corporations… and now devs too apparently.

          I haven’t seen that at all. Hate doesn’t bring you far.

            I have and it’s good and cool.

            Well maybe not gatekeeping. But hating corporations…

      Yeah, until he gets an attractive buyout offer from an SEO company who wants to get into data mining.
