Why do you say so?

The second one might be related to lemmy.world being dosed. I don’t get any issues (anymore) on feddit.de

Connect is perfectly fine. I just used sync for a long time and like some particular things about it (e.g., being able to jump from one comment tree to the next reliably and quickly).

The 100$ is very much a premium tier with nice to have features. The ad free version is around 20$, which is still steep but you’re paying for lifetime ads.

I’m fully for supporting ljdawson and this app - the former version of which I’ve also purchased.

So, I was really surprised when I saw that the gdpr consent form had some of the worst dark patterns with the opt-out “legitimate interest” for each party.

The first time I was so excited to have sync again, that I just confirmed selection. Stupid of me. Second time, I spent minutes opting out of each individual party’s “legitimate interest” - after giving consent.

No idea what this means or if ljdawson knew (he’s the dev though), but this really soured my experience.

I think I’ll still purchase, but this sucks.

Edit: I’ve since purchased the ad-free version. I want to give ljdawson the benefit of the doubt and maybe also chalk this up to the beta state. I just quite dislike dark patterns.

Your username is made on instances. So yeah, you can’t just switch. However you could just recreate the username on a different instance though.

I’ve had a weird system-wide stutter for months and the usual googling and troubleshooting didn’t help… omg. This might be it. Thank you Linus and thank you op.
