This is such an unbelievably naive take. People's time is worth something. Relying just on donations from a small percentage of users here and there is not going to cut it for someone who is developing the software full time.
No, can't you see? There is no way to enjoy Lemmy without Sync.
There are plenty alternatives which is great. I think it's just an absurd take to bash a solo dev who is working on an app as their full time job for trying to make money.
