It's so nice to see them all growing, but this is just the truth, sorry. (lemmy.ml)

This kind of gatekeeping and elitism is bad for Lemmy and for FOSS.

It makes this community a less welcoming place and leaves new folks with a bad first impression. Much better to be welcoming and let people learn/see the benefits of FOSS at their own pace.

I'd given up on lemmy because every so I had tried was unfinished and unpolished. I tried sync and finally felt like the user experience wasn't getting in the way of content.

I'd love to support foss, if a genuinely comparable experience existed.

I'm glad to say that sync has revived my interest in lemmy.

FOSS doesn't need your support. You misunderstand the relationship. FOSS is looking out for you.

I see the upvotes but I cannot support this comment. FOSS could use a lot more support at every level, including users.
