Just made an account here ten minutes ago. The format feels weird but it’s nice to be able to continue talking like sensible people without getting banned for it. Feels good, man.
Happy you could join! You'll find that not only are bans much more reasonable, but conversations are frequently downright pleasant. Aditionally, there are communities built just for calling out mods that abuse power or are heavily biased. The system here is working much better from a user perspective.
I've been using using Sync since it was Sync for Reddit and the developer is known for flurries of updates followed by radio silence. So it's not unusual for him. It is closed source so if he ever disappears forever it will probably eventually break. But it's a great app.
I just checked, and while it isn't in the new account list, it is in the login list in Voyager. And, also, you can just type any url into the login form in Voyager if the server isn't listed.
If it's any help, I use the sync app on android. I also used sync for reddit prior to the API thing which finally made me leave, so my experience is pretty much the same in terms of format. I agree it can feel weird in a browser but there's a bunch of good mobile apps that might feel more familiar.
Ah, didn't realise it had been abandoned. Shame, I've been using it a while, and I used the reddit version up until the API thing. I guess I can understand the dev becoming frustrated with a lot of work for a small audience.
