I've seen plenty of 3rd party apps recently 🤔

@h @s1r83r a lot of apps happening is not that surprising with the exploding popularity, I'd say. dansup also quite often announces collaborations with other people (like hazel here, welshpixie from mastoart, etc.) and none of them have come to any kind of result, and the reason for that is usually not the other party. Especially combined with all the recent things and how he only seems to retaliate if his funding is in danger, it seems like he is mostly in it to make money out of this. @h @s1r83r He also quite often speaks about all those valiant goals of FOSS and community But while his software is usable (more or less), it is not to the benefit of the wider FOSS community. Aside of the fact that only one of his projects is released/actually open-source, it also feels like he develops them mostly for his flagship instances (see, barely outside contributions) |
@s1r83r Yeah, but he threatens the devs of them all the time. flips between promoting them and telling them he could end them at any moment. It’s far from just me, but this has already been talked about I don’t need to get into it over again. You can search for it if you care to. it’s like what happened to impressia’s devs (even if they made up, it’s a terrible look for dansup!), to @pixel for their reverse engineering efforts, and others. same reason his projects have next to no significant contributors besides himself, too
