Are you building an app for InsertRedditCompetitor? I am not.
There are other reddit “competitors” out there, but Lemmy/Kbin is the main one, so I wonder why he didn’t name drop it. It’s odd that he chooses to not pursue this or atleast make it easier for the community, considering he is very active on Mastodon. Perhaps he doesn’t see monetary value in creating Apollo for Lemmy since he already made millions off of Apollo and currently with Pixel Pals
https://old.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/182v1it/_/kam3jaf/?context=1 Christian’s thoughts on open-sourcing Apollo (Not happening). Would’ve made it a whole lot easier to port Apollo to Lemmy, but we have many great alternatives now, so not a huge issue. Still, would’ve been useful for a lot of developers to see how he implemented some features.
It’s not really that weird to see the plushie pop up, and then decide to view his recent posts / comments. Not sure how this post or the voyager post can be considered “attacks” either. I’ll provide some proof towards what I said in the other post in a bit.
It was how you made the posts after this one that made me think there was some ulterior motive here, esp with the Voyager one. That one in particular felt like you were trying to rile their community up.
