Appreciation post for Liftoff not collecting user data or injecting ads. (lemm.ee)

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.

And how is it different than reddit?

We paid for the app (or free app) but zero direct financial contribution to the platform.

I do not like corporation but it seems disingenous to post like you just did on an app's 'subreddit'.

Mmmm... I deleted my original response because yours disappeared for some reason, but I use liftoff and everybody should donate. That pretty much covers what I said in my original comment. I still don't understand what you're getting at though.
