What an awful way to interact with potential users. Accepting constructive criticism leads to better and more successful projects.
A simple, dismissive "Okay thank you" would have sufficed.
Even more so considering most of his 'users' will be in that role without consent. OP prefers to pretend his userbase only consists of those who consent. I say for every person who finds this useful, there will be 10 or more who have to take action to shut it off. For some, this action might be to leave Lemmy altogether, backfiring on the intended effect of the tool.
I don't mind criticism. If you go take a look at my post when I first announced the project you will see that I was accepting all the concerns that people were raising.
What I do mind is being lectured by someone who constructs a bunch of strawmen ("this is just like lemmit!", "I don't want this, therefore no one wants this!") and then when called out for them responds with "they were just giving feedback".
