I usually don't get too salty about these things, but that seemed uncalled for, especially since I'm on their side.
I would definitely contact the mod(s) of that subreddit and explain the situation. It may be an auto-ban based on language in the post but with some human to human context it could get sorted out.
I used Apollo for many years. Stopped using it two years ago because a known bug related to when scrolling feed suddenly you get a error that there is no more content. A lot of users reported it and what dev only does to to make more decorative content to buy. The dev was really good improving the app but I don’t know what happened there around years ago.
That problem was apparently an issue with the Reddit API. The dev tried to post the explanation any time the issue was reported because there was allegedly nothing he could do.
If true, totally seems like an API worth their asking price! /s
Ha! I was wondering why the comment to which I had replied had gone.
Partly true, but could also be a method of coping.
Banning someone for "self promoting" an open source, decentralised, democratised alternative? What a weird hill for them to die on.
