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.

    Yeah and we all know that if you’re not using a dumb phone and an Unix machine disconnected from the internet you’re an exquisite knob and shouldn’t worry about privacy at all and anyone should have the right to access your data.

    What a bullshit take.

      You’re like a dog, loaded down with ticks, complaining about the single flea on him. That’s what you sound like, you know?

        I didn’t complain about sync’s privacy policy or closed source anywhere. I just think your comment is weird and it’s a strange hill you’re dying on.

            I mean disagreements are inevitable if you’re on a platform posting comments and stuff. But also I’m already tired of discussions like this. Let’s just leave it at that.

              I was only saying that joining lemmy was a chance to get away from pointless arguments about nothing that no one else cares about. It has been a place of polite and reasonable discussion where disagreements are just differences in opinion and not arguments.

              If it just becomes reddit 2.0 that will be a shame.

                Why would redditors who left reddit be different because the URL changed? People may have left for a variety of reasons, but that has little to do with their commenting or posting style. At most maybe communities of interests thst gain traction, but that doesn’t make them anymore special than the average internet user.

                  Up to a point it seemed like the ones that wanted to argue all the time were the ones who didnt care what was happening to reddit because of spez so they stayed on reddit. But thats starting to change.

                  Although i would say its quite inaccurate of you to reduce the differences between reddit and lemmy to a URL change. Theres quite a bit different between them and if you think this is just a new place for people to be dicks to eachother then you might be part of the problem.

                  Why waste a chance to start fresh and be different? Why would you want this to be the internets toilet paper 2.0

                    I just left because I wanted to try something that wasn’t run by a corporation for the intention of monetizing the user base. I didn’t expect any different when it came to behavior which is why I had been hoping for RES type levels of filtering to become available as the userbase grew, since I knew it would be necessary to start curating content. Welcome to the internet.
