    this article was from 2 days ago, hopefully there will be new light tomorrow. although, reddit’s history of corporatising at the expense of users, and their respect thereto, is still significant. let’s hope to see some awareness from the less technically & socially active reddit user-base tomorrow :p

      I got off there as soon as I saw them slandering the creator of Apollo for ‘threats’, now I’m hoping he’ll just shift focus and make it into a badass Lemmy app instead.

        Spez answered a total of 14 softballs, and 7 more questions were answered by other employees with ultimately no satisfactory outcomes or answers. You didn’t really miss much unless you like watching people pour gasoline on dumpster fires.

          To be fair, it was a fantastic dumpster fire. I can’t decide if he fared better than Steven Seagal or not.

      That article also is very pro Reddit.

      It just accepts his claims without providing the Apollo app developers evidence that he’s lying.
