The Apollo dev banned and removed all my comments suggesting Lemmy as an alternative to reddit.
(lemmy.ml)
I usually don't get too salty about these things, but that seemed uncalled for, especially since I'm on their side.
Plenty of other comments mentioned Voat and Lemmy ... weird https://old.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/13ws4w3/had_a_call_with_reddit_to_discuss_pricing_bad/jmd4wk8/
Maybe the difference is the fact that Dessalines is directly involved in the Lemmy project. Maybe that makes it self promotion in the Apollo dev's eyes? 🤷
That would be a little like the staff on the sinking Titanic reminding passengers not to mention other cruise lines :p
Self-promotion rules are really weird for open-source projects too. Its like we're telling people about a pizza recipe that we created and are sharing freely... we're not selling anything or trying to profit off people.
