I’m loving Sync so far. I used the official reddit app ever since I was on Reddit. I sure was missing out.
I saw on the left bar there’s two options “Remove ads” and “Sync Ultra”. What’s the difference? I understand ultra is a subscription that gets ad free browsing and more. However, remove ads looks to be a single purchase “add-on”, i.e. no subscription. Is that the case? That would be nice down the line when sync for lemmy gets an official stable release.
There’s also a price difference. Ultra is 1.99$/mo or 16.99$/yr, and remove ads is 12.99$.
Ok, but how is that different from any other ad-supported media?
Because this one is built on the back of an anticapitalist project.
How is Lemmy an “anticapitalist project”. I know the devs political orientation, but tech is tech, not really politically aligned by itself.
Besides, if it were anticapitalist, they should not have used the GPLv3 as their license, as it explicitly allows third parties to profit off the project.
Ehh… No.
