I was reading a book on social life of the upper-middle class and new rich of the American 1920s and realized so many things we now do proudly were considered socially taboo back then.

idea to use canvas to make the wider fediverse more active - post your drawings or drawings you like on mastodon/et al with #lemmycanvas , get a chain of people doing this and boosting eachothers posts
I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync’s developer, Lemmy’s developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home...
i dont think theres anything wrong with sync enjoyers loving their app but i have to agree that the iap money would be better spent on actually keeping instances alive
all i said is better spent, not that you’re not allowed to spend money on sync; and you talk about it like you’re forced to pay to browse lemmy without ads when it’s sync that has ads and not lemmy?
The website doesn’t seem to be down, but glitched or something. I’m getting an http 400 error through my app. When you pull up the website in your browser, it pulls up the Lemmy regular homepage but with “Error” text. Maybe a misconfiguration somewhere?
Just built it from source while waiting for Google to approve the app, and it’s great. I had to use Firefox for the PWA because I need links to open in firefox when I click on them, but Firefox doesn’t handle PWAs vey well. The native app fixes all these problems. Excited for it to be on the Google Play Store!...

to answer the opposite of your question i would say it’s unethical to steal things from indie developers and creators; the same way its more wrong to steal from a local corner store than it is to steal from Walmart

sites doing this probably wouldn’t be worth using anyways
what about when your bank adds this? have you tried using a safetynet enforcing app on a rooted android phone? this has bigger implications than you’re seeing

They are spreading conspiracy theories, nazi bs and hate, this hurts the fediverse and is making us look bad.
