I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync's developer, Lemmy's developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home instance up will accelerate the incredible growth of lemmy!

Let me make a list of things that would be “stupid” to take from this.

That you are answerable for what others have said.

Then why did you ask me to justify OP's post?

That you are among those that were prodding Sync users.

Then why did you try and make me answerable for what other people were saying?

Not whatever the fuck direction that was that you just tried to take it in.

It's pretty simple. You said:

“because of the sync mention by the OP, there is a preponderance of lecturing coming from the FOSS purist community. It is infantile to expect no response to that”

And clearly expected me to have some sort of ownership of, or participation in, that lecturing. I then pointed out to you that I didn't believe I had either but if you could find an example of me doing so I'd be happy to talk about it.

Feel free to tell me why my paraphrasing was inaccurate

Because it's not what I said. I said:

"You’re absolutely correct. Anyone can enjoy any app they like and either pay for it or not....But coming into a thread about ways to ensure Lemmy gets the support it needs to develop and instances get the support they need to keep going to tell everyone how much you love your app is infantile."

I'm not sure saying someone(s) coming into a thread which is nothing to do with Sync as a piece of software and proceeding to hijack it to be about Sync is infantile behaviour is directly equivalent to 'standing up for yourself is infantile'. They weren't standing up for themselves, they'd made an error in understanding what the thread was about and when informed what it was about got annoyed and asked why they 'couldn't just use what we want' or 'why do you care?' when as far as I can tell nobody (certainly not me) told them they couldn't use whatever app they wanted to, its simply not what this thread was about.
