Same. I'm very grateful for the FOSS options, they're like a public option. They create a baseline that paid apps have to surpass, but there's nothing wrong with devs getting paid for their work and that payment shouldn't have to be at the whims of donations. I view it as more choice and more choice is good. This is a small dev on an open platform that can't lock out FOSS options. It's not a mega corp building a monopoly. Sync is not hurting anyone by being a paid option.

    Wouldn't they see this as a dev trying to make some fortune over non-profit service?

    Not sure though if the dev already automatically donates a portion of his sells to lemmy.

    On the other hand, I'd like to see how the donations to the non-profit are being utilized. At least with for-profit we know what's what.
