and then just shut it down

He "shut it down" because Reddit intentionally made it impossible to continue. He had no control over that.

refused to open source it.

Why is he obligated to open source it?

I didn’t say he was obligated to open source it. He gains nothing by keeping it closed. If he had open sourced it I could still use it because I have a Reddit API key. If he open sourced it, it could be converted to work with Lemmy. But he effectively burned it down.

He doesn’t owe it to me to open source it but I can still think it was a shitty selfish decision.
