I feel like if you go through the effort of learning about and registering in the fediverse you have a higher chance of staying just because of the invested time.

The only comments I personally see are complaining about the price. Most people just use it. I subscribed instantly and knew I would before the price was revealed. Iā€™m only saying it because itā€™s on topic now, but tend not to get into the discussion because in the end itā€™s up to the individual whether or not the cost makes the app worth using.

Hey, I get that. A lot of people over here are very privacy conscious and Iā€™m not against it at all. The dev just hasnā€™t ever given me a reason to distrust them in all the years Iā€™ve used the app. Thereā€™s been a built up trust, so to speak.

The control of private data is important and when Iā€™m told that the collection stops if I have the ad free version I believe it.

And I would never say that anyone should pay for something unless they feel it to be worth the price. Just like I wouldnā€™t tell someone not to pay for it because I think the price is too high for me.

Iā€™ve used Sync for as many years as I was on reddit. I paid almost nothing for the app back then compared to the amount of time Iā€™ve spent on it. I feel like the whole discussion on price is meaningless, really. Some people arenā€™t gonna like it, some arenā€™t going to care.

Not that it looks too great right now, though I appreciate they are working on it.

Iā€™ve used sync for almost ten years and am all in on it until something better comes along. Thunder is very nice too, but itā€™s not sync.

Why does smoked salmon look 'raw'? And why does it taste so different from a cooked fillet?

I donā€™t tend to eat much fish, but in the supermarket earlier I saw some smoked salmon which didnā€™t need cooking, and some salmon fillets which did. They looked the same really - both ā€˜rawā€™. I decided to buy some of the fillet. It was nice, but a very different flavour from when Iā€™ve tried smoked salmon in the past....
