How about instead of wasting time circle jerking in your 10 minutes of fame, you dedicate a few hours to add Lemmy/kbin/mastodon/whatever support to Apollo and actually support your users?
Although wefwef pretty much completely fills the gap left by Apollo, it still annoys me to see the way this guy is handling this situation. Not only is he doing jack shit to support his loyal longtime users, he went through the effort of updating the app to beg people not to refund the subscription.
/end rant
My guy, it takes way way way more than a few hours to "add support". You make it sound as if it's so easy.
He spent years building that app, improving it, only to have the rug pulled out from under him. I'm sure any developer would be pretty distraught by such an event. I know I'd be.
Some people non-ironically think that all he needs to do is CMD F “Reddit” and change it to “Lemmy” in the app code, and all the functionality would be there.
Yup. And it's frustrating. The level of entitlement!
