Okay, fair, I rounded up. Ad removal is 4x ($5 to $20) and Ultra is 2x to 5x depending on the tier.
Right; for me it's 124.78 USD converted.
Well yeah LJ is free to charge $10k for all we care, it's his right. The problem is he's acting contrary to the idea of the libre community and seems to forget what drove people away from Reddit. I have no data to back this up, but given the response on the official Sync community, he could very well double the amount of paying customers by halving the prices.
I do support Lemmy developers and my home instance on Liberapay and loved Sync back in the reddit days but I still have doubts about making this sort of purchase right now
What drove me away from reddit is when they killed Sync.
I loved the old app, I still love the new app, it's a pleasure to use compared to the alternatives I've tried, and I find the ultra subscription rate both reasonable and worthwhile to support a product I truly enjoy.
Sync is good for me. There's plenty of other options if it's not good for you.
