manifesting christian decides to rewrite apollo for lemmy 🙏
half kidding of course, i think he said he wasn’t interested in reddit alternatives anyways, but i do miss it
He actually addressed it in the Verge article linked in this thread. He’s afraid of Lemmy or Kbin dying off and having to deal with the emotional toll of the app dying all over again. As a developer, I totally get that concern. He has put so much of his time into Apollo just to see it die, I wouldn’t want to risk that again.
As much as i hate the idea of a community relying on one company, I saw someone suggest that Apple buy Apollo and get into social. It’s not a TERRIBLE idea. I feel icky wishing for it though.
