1 year agoThis doesn’t surprise me, during the whole process they didn’t even try to pretend that they were listening.
The thing that really gets me is how poorly they communicated: slandering the Apollo dev, ignoring mod’s concerns, lying, not giving enough notice, and having the audacity to hold an “AMA” but answer basically none of the questions.
Like if you’re going to go through with this change at the bear minimum you could be professional about it. But they way they did it was very arrogant and impatient.
Also probably a bit of servivorship bias at work here – the people who really dislike the change aren’t on reddit to upvote/comment leaving the bootlickers to be the ones who do.
