I know right? I have no problem with a fee existing. It’s the ridiculously high fee, and the complete BS he tried to feed everyone that really drive me away. It’s only going to get worse. I hope lemmy gets big enough
The irony is that at the fee they are charging, there is very little useful application for the API. So I doubt they will make much, if any, money from it. So they are just enraging and driving away their user base for a plan which won’t work anyway. Unless the API was just costing them so much server time that they are getting massive cost reductions by closing it.
I enjoy how he’s still talking about this as if it’s purely about having 3rd party apps pay a fee, not about his incredibly piss-poor handling of it.
