Because it’s not a choice of FOSS or not, it’s a in choice of quality of the app. Apps like Jerboa or Thunder are very far behind Sync and Boost. But if you enjoy those, then more power to you, and definitely no reason to switch.
I don’t know about that. I’m a sync user and some of the foss options are very good by now. I use sync because of familiarity and I like the dev so don’t mind dropping some money to support him.
I was just more amused that it was an Adblock ad. It’s a pity it is relying on hassling you with ads to get you to pay as I’d happily chip if to help with the development of an app I was enjoying.
My first ad:
Fuck why would anyone use this over FOSS apps that dont spread google adware/spyware

Because after a $3.49 payment, I never see ads again and this app is noticeably better than the Lemmy apps I’ve been stuck with until now.
I mean boost looks good but in what ways is it better than let’s say connect for lemmy for example. what the first thing that comes to your mind?
I’ve tried Boost quickly and ads aside I haven’t noticed anything than is inherently superior to connect which is what I’m using right now.
