Personally, I just feel bad for Apollo's creator and mods (the good ones) who spent so much time carefully taking care of a community they love, so in a sense I wish Reddit would come to their senses and axe that fucker CEO and revert to reasonable API changes. But it's mostly wishful thinking. Besides, now I would feel bad if Reddit managed to go back to being good because that would mean that this aswesome Lemmy thinghy would go back into the shadows, while it deserves so much attention imho.
I hear what youre saying, and I do agree, but keep in mind that the developer of Apollo has definitely come out well in all of this.
He has made millions from Apollo. Yes plural. Yes in USD.
I'm not saying he isn't deserving of his success, I just want you to be aware that he is definitely well off.
I'm not saying that they don't love the community, but it was probably also a lucrative opportunity for the developers too. I bought paid versions of a few, and found Boost to be my favorite. I wish they would head over here because people would definitely support them.
