Spez is free to do whatever, but he was such an asshole about it. Especially when he lied about Christian Selig blackmailing him, and when Christian Selig gave the call as proof that he didn't, Spez tried to make him look the bad guy by accusing him of "leaking calls"... he even said before that he wouldn't charge for API in 2023 but then he made an abrupt announcement that he would in ONE MONTH, with high fees. Developers would need time to readjust their app to optimise the use of API calls and one month is not enough. Why can't Spez just be DIRECT that he wants to discontinue 3rd party apps? Why was he so wishy washy and vague instead of actually telling others what the hell he wants? Then he had some sort of fantasy where we are his "serfs"... which is kinda disgusting. Look man, I've only used 3rd party apps for a few months and could return to the official app with no difficulty, but I seriously don't like being under that person. At least on the Fediverse I can choose who my admin is. (Kbin btw)
Spez was the problem, not the reddit community.
I mean I get that he's in some sort of one-way findom relationship with spez but that should be done without harassing other people— we didn't consent to it.
Yeah it's so weird, why make an account here if he likes Reddit so much? We just want to have another place to have communities, that's why we left and stayed here. He should do the same, stay there and out of here if he hates this place so much.
What karma? Spez started it by being a liar 🤷♂️ so I say it is natural that people stop supporting him.
LOL what?? That's insane
It's almost a relief that I was (relatively) recently introduced to 3rd party apps that it made me care enough to move to Kbin in protest of Reddit's actions. The future there is bleak.
It's funny how he calls the moderators landed gentry, when he is the one benefitting from the mods' unpaid labor, all because they wanted to maintain their community, and then calls them squatters. In my culture, that sort of language means that he's trying to mock the moderators for being squatters "aspiring to be landed gentry"... then if you put his comments about owning slaves in an apocalyptic scenario into perspective... honestly I have no words left.
And all those "subtle insults" for the community just makes me wonder, why do people even want to benefit him, or be associated with him? This man was the ultimate reason why I left, not even the fact that I was a 3rd party user.
I like playing through KEMCO games when I'm bored, though they're mostly turn-based JRPG games. My favorite is Asdivine Dios.
I'm not sure about lemmy since I'm primarily a kbin user, but the mobile website is already really good to begin with. I just use Hermit to make it even more "app-like" with features like full screen and frameless. I even did the same to the websites of some of my other apps.
Chrome is a memory hog compared to Firefox lol
