What Lemmy Client(s) Do You Use? (strawpoll.com)

I was wondering, with all the different Lemmy clients and frontends, what/which out of these do people actually use? To answer this, I made a poll if anyone wants to fill it out, and I tried to put every client I could find.

Almost all of Syncs business model is ads. The free version has ads and almost everyone who pays for it is doing so to remove ads. Which is just rewarding the implementation of ads. I also disagree with the concept of profiting from free user content with ads like Reddit does. Which was Reddits primary goal of preventing third party apps. They wanted the ad revenue themselves instead of third parties getting the ad revenue.

The only way this can be acceptable is to not have a free ad version and only have a paid version. That way you are paying for software and not paying to remove ads or profiting from free user content.

FYI Izzy got permabanned for stating this opinion. That's really insane.

I’m here from the thread where he let us know. I was expecting something a little more egregious than the above. That’s absolutely crazy.

It's not even mean. And this isn't some niche sub specifically about Sync. It's the most generic sub imaginable. Are they paid by Sync?

Are they paid by Sync?

Yeah, one dude is blackmailing Lemmy to advertise /s

According to the mod post, this was far from the first time, and when they were warned they didn't take it well, hence the permaban.

Did he get reported or what? I just saw somebody mention Izzy in a Star Wars meme lol.
