The app has not been updated in more than a month and LJ also has not been active on lemmy and this community for nearly a month. Is he okay¿?

With the way the Lemmy community treated him for releasing a “non-FOSS” app, I wouldn’t be surprised if he bailed. I would’ve.
FOSS users the vegans of software.
Nah… The loud foss users are like vegans. Plenty of us are quiet and actually donate to foss groups.
FOSS is lemmys greatest strength and its biggest flaw. Too much foss nerdery on lemmy and it’s boring the average folk.
I wouldn’t say boring, I’d say frustrating. You cannot use Lemmy for any kind of tech support if you’re not using Linux or FOSS software.
If you make a post asking for help with a software you need, someone will ignore you and tell you to use some garbage ass incomparable FOSS version. Use anything not Linux? Use Linux, idiot.
You pay for YouTube premium because it’s $5 per month using the family plan, and you’re okay with paying a few bucks for entertainment? Go die from cancer. Actually, though, someone called me a racist and a Holocaust denier for saying I pay for YouTube premium since I split it between my family, and it’s pretty damn cheap. Their comments were heavily upvoted and mine were downvoted.
Lemmy genuinely isn’t fun anymore. It’s so incredibly toxic.
Oh ya, don’t forget the fuck cars community telling me it’s my fault my city doesn’t have great public transit? Like bro, I moved here a year ago. This city was built hundreds of years ago. How the fuck is that my fault?
You were probably initially downvoted for generalizing and the fact that Google is already doing fine for servers and barely pays creators.
And that’s a great reason to call me a racist Holocaust denier! And it’s great to see their comments get a ton of upvotes, too!
Yeah, no argument that the other commenter went completely off the rails.
Lmao that conversation is mental where did you find that guy?

Not to mention the fact that many people don’t know what FOSS means, given that it’s not used widely outside programmer circles and nobody ever defines the term.
I’m still hoping we get more of the general population on lemmy to help it grow, rather than only be filled with programmers.
With the Lemmy community not being that big, the circle jerk tends to be everywhere. I personally am really turned off by the extreme and open xenophobia.
Nah, he didn’t care about that at all. Had some lengthy discussions on the topic on the sync discord.

Or, “I wish I wasn’t getting death threats, posts about me attacking my character, all because I released a really good app but included ads so I could get paid for it”.
So again, for the millionth time, Lemmy nerds expect everything to be free and without ads. That’s not how life works, and you throw a hissy fit like a child.
You’re going to ruin Lemmy. Enjoy it.

I never said you made death threats. You responded to my comment, “joking” that the developer grabbed his money and bailed. Your original comment to my comment perfectly encapsulates how FOSS users treat him. You accused him of running away after getting money.
Even if he bailed, it wasn’t for the small flow of cash. It was because of how the FOSS users were treating him. You are welcome to go look at all of the previous Sync posts back when Sync launched, seeing the thousands of comments bashing him for putting ads in the app, and calling him very mean things.
I also never said Lemmy is dead. I said people like you are going to ruin Lemmy. Learn to read.

Your original comment was accusing him of getting money and bailing. You’re part of the problem. Put yourself in whichever group you want.
