When is it happening?!
Edit: What sort of idiot posts that there’s going to be an AMA and doesn’t even give a time?
The kind of idiot that ruins their website by killing third party tools then lying about it
Also slandering developers who have pretty much done your job for you for years
Its a meme bro.
I used to be the CEO of one of the most visited sites before we decided to blow it up, AMAA!
It’s gonna be heavily moderated and anything negative will be removed, probably.
they lied about Apollo blackmailing them I wouldn’t be surprised
What? Who lied about what? Can you expand on this, I have no idea what it means other than knowing Apollo is probably referring to the Reddit app.
So my understanding is Reddit, or specifically u/spez, tried to claim that the Apollo developer was blackmailing them over the entire API pricing debacle. The Apollo developer posted the audio and transcript of the call with Reddit showing they were lying. Now they’ve claimed his App is poorly developed and making wasteful amounts of API calls- so now he’s posted a large swath of code online to disprove that also.
tl;dr reddit CEO caught in a couple lies
sorry duud I’m using jerboa and didn’t get a notification for this, looks like people have already clarified below though
There was a call between Steve Huffman aka spez and Apollo developer. Apollo developer is in Canada so he recorded the call. Spez lied how Apollo dev threatened him, and Apollo dev released the call recording.
Apollo dev must understand that Lemmy is slowly gaining ground. He could build an instance or rebuild Apollo into a Lemmy client.
I hope it beats EA for downvotes lol.
I feel like it will, I swear he has every redditor pissed off at him right now.
Because there’s no way they’ll manipulate that number in the database.
They didn’t bother with the announcement of the API prices. Only 4% upvoted.
Could we theoretically pay reddit for API access and log / monitor any changes to the vote counts that way ?
I think it’s still free till the 1rst of July, so, if someone has experience they could do something like that
Maybe someone should
There are actually some legit anti-spam reasons that reddit has been obfuscating vote counts and totals for a long time now. Even if this wasn’t a known phenomenon, I don’t think I’d trust the API call results anyway.
I know this won’t happen but the best possible outcome would be if nobody showed up.
I disagree, the best possible outcome would be if every single question was something that they don’t want to answer becouse it points out how bad they are at their job
I think that’s essentially what will happen, but they’ll just remove comments they don’t like. If no one showed up at all they’d look even dumber. But it’s going to be a trainwreck for the ages so I’m looking forward to the show.
I can’t wait to see how bad this goes after reading about the Apollo drama with Reddit.
This’ll be one of the worst AMAs after the James Corden one. Lmao. He’ll get crucified.
Edit: or maybe he’ll just edit the questions/comments of users before answering.
And Woodys one!
Guys I think all this talk about Apollo is taking the spotlight away from my new movie, Rampart.
This is going to be better than the Woody Harrelson Rampart AMA. And by better I mean an unmitigated dumpster fire. Can’t wait.
Bro come on, let’s just talk about Rampart. Alright?
