MODERATORS
No, what they need is to undo the API change so third party apps can work again. Maybe charge them something, but that something should be low enough that they can be ad supported.
That's the elephant in the room, and no branding refresh will make it go away.
To be honest, even if they undo that, the damage is done. Trust is lost. And to be honest, after hearing what Spez said about the vulnerable people who post on his site, I wouldn't want to touch the site even if I liked the official app.
Yeah, I'm never going back again. It was fun when it was supported by donations and user-focused, but it's essentially indistinguishable from Facebook at this point. I'm just glad this alternative exists.
Yeah that quote is psychopathic
Sorry I'm OOTL; what quote?
Holy crap. Thank you.
