Fedilab works great for me.

Relying on the donation of others to the Lemmy dev and instances to make profits is way more greedy. It is even parasitic on one side.

People not donating is a thing but they don’t make profits. It’s a huge difference on the greedy scale.

Everything should be like this no only game, also software, apps, etc.

Things in the world aren’t free.

Did I write that? I explicitly wrote he can keep 1/3. It doesn’t make it free at all, knowing the other 2/3 going to the Lemmy devs and instances. Nothing is free in this model. It’s about the fairness.

1/3 isn’t arbitrary. You have 3 parties here, the app dev, the lemmy devs and the lemmy instances. The first relies entirely on the second and the third, who are in a donation model. Without these two, the first is at best useless, therefore giving 2/3 to the other parties is fine. Cutting the revenues of the app in 3 for each party is fair.

Sync fans in the comments: Yes, I bought Sync and love it

This is what people said me that would not happens. But, I knew people will think by paying for Sync they will pay for Lemmy (devs and instances).

If the sync dev would be fair and not greedy, he would give at least the 2/3 of his revenues from the app to the Lemmy devs and the instances. Otherwise, I guess instances should be able to block these apps.

I understand everyone need to earn something. And keeping max 1/3 is good.

People need to understand and in priority the people coming from Reddit that Lemmy is not reddit. Reddit earns money with ads and investors. They could inject ads through the APIs and states in the usage terms that 3rd party devs could not remove them. They didn’t do it.

Lemmy is a complet other story. Lemmy rely on donations. So, when someone donates to the Lemmy devs and/or instances, the dev of a paid app is making money on this donation. Without the Lemmy devs and the instances, the paid app would not exist at all. It’s not fair at all to not share the revenue of these apps.

These paid apps and their devs are at best predators and at least parasitics.

Cars oil need more steps than removing the back of a phone and place a new battery.

It’s the opposite for his business. His business become useless if people can replace batteries by themselves what the EU rule states.

And at the beginning, it was like 1$. When you have the full history, it looks like another raise of the price.

Where was that implied at all?

Reading all these threads about Sync makes me think about fanboys. The critics aren’t welcome.

4.99 was when he raised the price. It was cheaper.

I understand the fact Lemmy has a smaller user basse. The new price is a bit too much. With a small user base, the competition is greater.

It was something like $3.89 for the pro back in the days.

EnoughMuskSpam is a thing on lemmy.world.

You can write Musk instead of hypocrite. Synonyms are fine.

I still am on IRC and can confirm.

I saw a lot of comments about hashtags to follow. It’s right. You must follow them to find people to follow.

But, it’s missing a part of how to find people to follow. Boosting is essential. A way to boost automatically a toot is to use groups. You mention the group about the topic and your toot will be boosted. You need to follow these groups to find people. You feed will be less empty by following groups.

I can recommend Tusky, easy and simple. Otherwise Fedilab is nice too. Both for Android and available on f-droid.

I’m not blaming the parties, neither the ideas. I’m evaluating the strategies of the parties, two radical, different things. The strategies are bad and inaccurate.

A party need to adapt the communication to the audience and the target groups. Some do it with populism, what isn’t right. Populism is never the answer. The communication of the left need to level up so people and voter are convinced. If the parties don’t have a majority, the parties didn’t convince the voter. When I speak to random people, they clearly speak about two topics. The first is how to pay the bills and the second is politics are disconnected. At the end, they don’t elect anyone. What should we on the left do?

Sure, we need to do some marketing and communication. But, I don’t think it’s a good strategy. We need to speak to the people, listen to them to target their needs. The ideas and the programs are the same. What changes is the strategy. It’s to weight the topics to match the needs of the population. After that, you can build others ideas on top of that. Saying “capitalism bad” and explaining it during an hour doesn’t work. Listening to the people, acknowledging and validating the needs, giving a short explanation, then people begin to think capitalism is bad even if the issue is neoliberalism. You adapt it to the audience.

Last week, during an anarchist meeting, we spoke about why capitalism is bad. Yesterday, at another meeting, we spoke about why we struggle with two words about capitalism. The audience was different, but the topic was the same. I sadly don’t see a lot of that.
