Or Voyeger or any other opensource Lemmy client.
The community is one of the worst aspects when working with/on opensource software.
There are so many people with Open Source rabies...
Combine that with all those people who don't understand the difference between software developed by people who donate their spare time to work on FOSS software and for-profit software developed by big corporations. As a FOSS dev you get so many entitled assholes who think downloading a free app gives them the right to threaten/abuse the devs.
And then there are the fanboys who attack everyone who talks about downsides of their favourite product.
All in all, the hostile community makes FOSS development very not fun.
This is what gets me. I look into software for my company. Someone put up a open source alternative. I expressed my concerns with a small open source project and they acted like i murdered his first born. Well past the point of unprofessional and into the HR realm.
I'm not against open source by any means but there is a place for everything. This just was not the place for this specific product with only a handful of devs and no support. If a system goes down we need to have someone we can call.
In about 10 mins of pooping time i've seen so much fanboyism as you've described. More than ive ever seen prior.

I just installed the new sync and I'm given the impression that everyone here is 5'7 and uses gentoo so they have to compensate
