There’s also ‘don’t use it’, which is a perfectly valid option.
It really should’ve been $50 for Lifetime, at most.
The trackers were specifically there for Google’s ad service, so I assume this’ll get rid of those too.
Finally, the fun kind of schizoposting!
The Sync drama truly is a Reddit moment.
It was bound to happen eventually; these migrations happen in waves, after all. Not to mention, a solid chunk of former Reddit users just stopped using social media entirely.
What a terrible way of looking at it. UX matters a lot when you’re using a platform, and some people are willing to tolerate the occasional ad if they get a UX they like and are familiar with.

There’s Beans, another client that’s trying to do the whole ‘iOS’ aesthetic (though in a way that’s unlike Apollo) and Memmy, which borrows a lot of Apollo’s design aesthetic.
Yeah, but Lemmy’s a newer platform and might not stick around for 6 years, IF it takes off like Reddit did. $100 is a bit too steep, if I’m being honest.
Even Apollo Ultra was $50, and people thought that was expensive…
…I’ve somehow lived this long without realizing that HP printers apparently need subscriptions to run now.
Your data is valuable, so they’ll probably just collect it and use it to target ads
The reason I’m not giving examples is because I’m simply here to say that your example was garbage.
Dude, you’re the one trying to paint Einstein as some sort of authority on the subject. He’s the same guy who urged the US to begin work on the Nuclear Bomb, which we both know the results of.
He was a smart man and a great scientist, but a great judge of moral character he was not.
I’m not ‘shitting on Einstein’, I’m simply saying he’s not some sort of political or economic expert. If he were, he’d be famous for those as well as for being a pre-eminent physicist.
Giving weight to someone’s opinion on one topic just because they’re an expert on a different topic is highly inadvisable.
Holy fucking shit, it’s been years since I’ve even heard about ‘pokes’!
So…yeah, a naked appeal to authority. Einstein was nigh-unmatchable in his field, but that doesn’t mean his intelligence was applicable to every other field. In fact, one of the worst things you can do is consider an expert in one field an automatic ‘authority’ in others.
Easily the money. There were many things in life that didn’t go quite right for me, but there was a lot that did as well. If I muck around with what already happened, I might end up worse than I did.
