Guy trying to hold a fart in meme template with the text “POV: you just mentioned you use Boost instead of the myriad FOSS alternatives”
on-topic rant
Use Jerboa if you want simple, go Voyager if you want modern and feature rich. Explore others if you want to find the best experience. Just stop supporting the only proprietary, ad-infested client.
off-topic rant
If you have trouble parsing the meme, this is a rare use of “POV” where the meme is actually from your POV and those three letters aren’t just slapped there like “nobody:” might be.

There are a handful of them, Sync and Boost have ads / ad-free versions and Connect was closed but without ads from what I remember. I’m not familiar with the rest of the closed source ones
I keep Voyager installed as the FOSS alternative, and then the rest I add and remove every now and then to try out.
Boost and Sync are popular because people coming from Reddit have used them for years, and are familiar with the interface / dev. If it helps them get familiar with the fediverse then I’m all for it
