literally no one is forgetting about that - And the great thing about Lemmy is that no one will ever be forced to use an app they don't want to use, whether it be closed source or open source.

What OP is (rightly) complaining about, is the huge amount of holier-than-thou rhetoric that's plastered all over the front page of Lemmy right now giving users shit for wanting to use a closed source app.

I love FOSS, I'm typing this comment on a linux desktop right this moment (arch, btw) - but sometimes the best tool for a job (by my own completely subjective opinion) is a closed source tool. Using a closed source app to access an open source system isn't a betrayal of that open source system.

If you personally don't want to use a closed source solution, or if you specifically think that Sync is a bad solution for any number of possible reasons, then you're free to continue using open source solutions, I really don't see why so many people care so much about what apps other people are using, Sync existing doesn't take anything away from open source solutions (except maybe users, but again - you can't force people to use your software)

All I'm seeing in the all frontpage is people glorifying Sync while belittling other apps and complaining about those complainers, Like dude, I have the sync community blocked because while I like that it exists, I don't want to be force feed with that content, and now I still am because it's being discussed in other communities.

What's annoying is the way some people talk about the app, stating that it's the objective best app ever, like zealots. I don't give two flying fucks about the price but I swear that the alleged complaints of FOSS users may be in part because of the attitude of other users.

Please link me a single post other than this one that glorifies sync while belittling FOSS apps (not that this one belittles Foss apps in the slightest) - preferably with more than a dozen upvotes

Because I posted a screenshot in this thread with five of the top 10 posts on my front page being the exact opposite, and I really don't believe you when you say that you're being spammed with "sync zealots"

People like Sync, but it's the haters that are being spammy and obnoxious about it, not it's users
