Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but does Sync seriously charge to remove ads that they added to browsing Lemmy in the first place? I get charging for Reddit due to the API, but I have a hard time believing the app is that much better than the existing FOSS apps such that the privacy tradeoff with ad trackers and/or the monetary cost worth it for, well, anyone really. Seems kinda scummy and antithetical to the philosophy that drives much of the Fediverse to me, yet I see so many people defending it in a way that reminds me of the rhetoric used to defend Reddit. Seriously, am I just a crazy person?

According to this source via wiktionary, it's '[p]ossibly from a contraction of "grinning like a ’possum eating shit."'

Jasn is correct. To add to that, here's App Manager's scanner showing no detected trackers in the app itself:

I've lived in Canada and the US and I've never thought twice about drinking water straight from the tap.
