The FOSS idealist fantasy land is just as cringe as all the "it's only $20" bootlicking loyalists. Just another dramatic console war, courtesy of a bored internet and slow news cycle

So many people instantly shelling out 20$ (or 100$ "lifetime subscriptions") the moment an app releases in beta, then immediately bragging about it in comments. I'm using Sync right now and it's cool, but calm tf down people. There's a lot of sunk-cost and weird app tribalism going on.

Also this dev must have made some serious bank in 24 hours, holy smokes

I didn't see kbin.social in the list of instances when logging in, and when typing manually, it returns an error. I'm still learning lemmy - is there a reason kbin login doesn't work?

Anyways it hardly matters, this acct is fine too and the app is amazing. Perfect timing with RIF now returning Error Forbidden while logged out (officially dead, rip).

Looking forward to using this more, thx y'all
