Given the strong genetic link between wefwef and Apollo, I think it would be great to acknowledge and describe the origins of wefwef’s UX design. In a few months, there will (hopefully) be new signups who never used Reddit, and never had the opportunity to use the awesome piece of software Christian developed over the better part of a decade. I’d like to see the legacy and history of Apollo live on, even if it’s just that iconic icon and a few sentences.

Maybe we could have an “Ode to Apollo” somewhere under the settings menu?

Ah yeah that’s fair I’d be pissed too. Hopefully lemmy doesn’t inherit all that community lash back like the old place. Plenty of places over there will make you regret ever commenting.

I never really cared about all the later features he added to Apollo. I was an early adopter and had pro which was a one time purchase. Never saw the need when he rolled out the ultra stuff but it also didn’t bother me he found ways to monetize it without selling me as a product to marketing companies or whatever heh.

Bummer you had a lousy experience. Hopefully you and I both can feel more comfortable here :)
