    Why is everyone so upset?

    You know why, it’s because in the eyes of Lemmy users who have been here all along, launch of Sync is the start of their eternal September. I moved to reddit back in 2010 as a Digg refugee after the infamous redesign, I saw much of the same back then (down to the plethora of programming and Linux memes).

      Sync isn’t trying to replace all Lemmy frontends or other FOSS apps, it’s trying to provide a Reddit-like experience for people who miss it.

      People just find reasons to be upset, I swear.

      If anything, the eternal September would have started when Reddit killed itself. I can’t imagine people thinking it’s starting now.
