Thanks for chiming in, Genocide Jordan.

Make it open source and free.

I see that you decided avoid answering the question then insulted me like some kind of gaslighting genocidal politician.

Thanks for showing everyone here that your priority is profiteering and your app is subject to capitalist enshittification.

You’ve been dodging the open source question repeatedly because IMO you’re here to make money off of our naivety.

The fediverse happily funds devs that want to help build the community. Here’s a proper fediverse style community: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager

Notice how many contributors there are and the licensing?

It is not. OP is a rent-seeking opportunist building their own closed source app that will try to upcharge you everywhere you look. If you want proof, just look at their other apps.

Here’s a review of their BlueSky app:

Its annoying, I dont like it, makes me not want pro, I havent even really used the app yet just getting hit with messages telling me to upgrade, feels antifediverse

You asked for suggestions, do not have anything in the ui that if clicked makes you pay for pro and doesnt let you use it, have one tab for pro, nothing else should lead you to that, the ui is already laggy, I accidentally click a menu option not related to pro and I get a fat popup telling me to pay for features.

Pro should be optional and burried in a menu, there shouldnt be 10 different menu items that dont function and lead you to a payment page.

Hi,

Thanks for your input! I'm sorry if this makes your experience with SoraSNS less favorable!

Like most other iOS Fediverse apps, this app contains in-app purchase to enable certain features. If you let me know which features you are looking to use in specific that triggered the purchase alert, I would make these features free or paid only after several days of usage.

It is not FOSS AL ALL. OP is a rent-seeking profiteer.

Triggered? It didn’t trigger me. It made me feel the need to announce my pity for you.

You’re the new Lemmy user from Reddit literally spreading poison on your armpits then acting like a walking billboard for companies that are poisoning you and ripping you off.

Found the suburban white person; these late stage capitalists are so completely brainwashed into the capitalist death cult that they have a deep, all-encompassing longing to define their individuality by loudly announcing what products they endorse and giving a shit about what products complete strangers use.

It’s best not to answer the question because they are just waiting for someone to mention a product that they don’t endorse so they can debate them endlessly about that choice and how it goes against their carefully-curated brand identity.

The only expressly illegal crypto technologies are mixers like Tornado cash.

Also, the law doesn’t define morality. Illegality just means that it threatens the parties in power (in this case, the Fed) enough that they have made laws against it.

A list from Suckfeed of things that are illegal but arguably not immoral:

• Ringing up two bananas instead of four to six at the grocery self-checkout. Produce is already inflated.
• Smoking pot outdoors. I use it for pain control and to help me walk. I have to carry it out and about, or I collapse.
• Riding your bike on the sidewalk.
• In at least 68 different countries, it is illegal to be gay.
• leaving your ID at home. POC have been killed for not having ID.
• In New York state, there are laws against 'fortune tellers' that are still on the books. I remember going through my penal code book in school and asking, 'WTF?!' It's just one of those old things that state legislature doesn't have time or incentive to change and goes back culturally to the racial stigma of 'gypsy' scam artists.
• Permits or anything that is punishable by fine just means it's legal for the rich."
• In my country, it's illegal to feed stray animals, which are mostly very friendly. On the other hand, it's perfectly legal, and I see it hundreds of times a day, to litter everywhere you want. Trash, plastic, cigarette butts are everywhere, the air is polluted and so is the water. Anyone can take down a tree or row of trees and destroy a forest, but you can't feed stray puppies and kittens? Seriously?
• Loitering, aka vagrancy, was criminalized as a way to arrest Black people, especially Black men.
• Any sort of consensual crime. Drugs, prostitution, gambling, weird sex. If everyone is consenting, I think it being legal makes it more regulated and much safer.
• what The Adjuster did last year.
• Sex work! It's a consensual transfer of money for services. The only reason it became illegal is because it gave women independence, and the only reason it is dangerous now is because it’s illegal. Legalize it, regulate it, and make people in the industry feel safe to report crimes and abuse.
• Assisted death. Terminally ill people should absolutely have the right to die with dignity on their own terms, instead of drawn-out, painful, oftentimes expensive, slow deaths.
• Downloading college ebooks for free instead of spending $400 on the latest version. Usually, all they did was change the spelling of a few words and called it v87.12458281648391846 of the book, and then they required it for your college class.
• Pirating media that isn't available for purchase in your area. You weren't going to get my money either way.
• Loitering in a park. I've always wondered why this is illegal in some places. The point of a park is to loiter.
• There’s a stoplight on my commute where I need to turn left. The light is a hard red/not on a timer. It’s not motion-detected. So even at 5:30 a.m., when there is zero traffic in the lanes ahead or behind me, I must wait for the timer or risk a photo-triggered ticket. The left turn lane should be a blinking yellow arrow at all times, TBH.
• Jaywalking and crossing the street on a red light, as a pedestrian, when there are no cars around.

Elaborate, please.

Me too!
