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.

    More people isn’t great. It’s how social media begin to sink. It was like this on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc.

        There is an optimum. But, the more is the best isn’t true for communities and social media.

          Maybe, but we are waaaay under that “optimum” right now, so for now the more is the best

            Optimum doesn’t mean a lot or infinity. It varies from community to community and social platform to social platform.

            Reddit peaked sometimes ago. But Lemmy is not reddit and it’s not focused on the grow.
