Huffman has said, "We are not in the business of giving that [Reddit's content] away for free." That stance makes sense. But it also ignores the reality that all of Reddit's content has been given to it for free by its millions of users. Further, it leaves aside the fact that the content has been orchestrated by its thousands of volunteer moderators.

It's so funny. I have bounced between Boost and Sync for years. I really love them both. I think I tend to gravitate to boost for more graphical or visual subs, and I like Sync for commenting or reading more text focused content. I have paid for pro lifetime on both. I miss them, and am excited that Sync is trying to make the jump.

Has the Boost dev(Ruben?) Officially said the app is shutting down? Ppl keep saying it, but I haven't seen an official post or announcement. Reddit keeps saying "we are still working with some devs"...

I'm using an open source client on an open source tablet to connect to an open source server instance with federation. It's not a coincidence, though it took some time for it to happen.
