    He does seem very defensive, and aggressive. Reddit is all his data he owns so we’re the leaches who just don’t want to pay, he has been so magnanimous to allow us to waste his money all these years with our stupid API calls. It’s amazing they let this guy be the CEO, it’s like he wants to piss people off at this point. Reddit IPO has broken his brain. I was ready to start paying Reddit to keep using RiF when this started, now here I am free from that shitshow forever and ready to spend that money supporting the growth of Lemmy. Incredible leadership from spez.

      I know I shouldn’t be surprised, but the whole “Apollo is a leach who adds no value” is fucking weird. Wouldn’t an alternative and extremely popular app be a huge advantage if you charge reasonably for it? Or even just buying out the app like they did with alien blue??? Makes no damn business sense to me to piss off your users on purpose
