Appreciation post for Liftoff not collecting user data or injecting ads. (lemm.ee)

I was looking forward to trying Sync today now that it's live, but my enthusiasm was immediately dampened after seeing the "Data Safety" section on the Google Play store.

Liftoff has been great, and want to say thanks for making an awesome app. This will continue to be my daily driver.

Edit: for clarity, because the post got way bigger than I expected.

Sync looks like a fantastic app, and the dev/s should charge whatever they feel is fair for their efforts, even if that's through the usual ads + ad tracking.

My intent was just to post here in /c/Liftoff to thank the Liftoff devs for managing to somehow offer an awesome app without any of that.

Indeed. I'm using Jerboa because it supports messages, but all these foss projects are amazing, and Liftoff is honestly the best of them.

Liftoff is FOSS? It doesn't say so in its description in the play store, and I don't find it in FDroid.

I use Obtainium to update apps that aren't on Fdroid.

Thanks! Odd that several of the open-source clients don't mention being so in their play store descriptions.
