You were way too kind and accommodating towards that piece of shit.

[–] AprilShowers@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 hours ago

probably the kind of person to scream "woke DEI" everytime they see someone who isn't white working at burger king.

i'm so tired of lazy greedy developers implying i'm a moron with their radical leftist "code"

I use RDX still if my Internet searches come up with a reddit page (technical troubleshooting)

Excellent app

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 12 points 7 hours ago

Oh boohooh did the poor wittle "conservative" encounter pushback on its silly wittle Fox-news-adled ideas?

I’m going to give you a five star review to balance it. (Swiss app store)

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 29 points 13 hours ago

Ahh they stepped out of their echochamber because the app shows r/all if youre not subscribed to any subreddit. Also, sometimes im forced to use reddit, love your app.

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 45 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

How does it work after the API butchering?

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

Yeah I’m curious too! What technical sorcery is OP doing for presumably free API access

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 37 points 18 hours ago

Just challenge the review because it's not about the app? If you can't do that, then just let it go.

[–] Dnb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Hey I have done actual feedback/ issues with the app.

About half the time i try to load a video it fails to open it. This can occur on comments too.

Also sometimes going to a sub reddit and then a post then hitting back button on android will cause it to completely close the app, like the breadcrumbs history is missing so it thinks you just want to quit vs go back to the sub reddit or home.

Thanks a bunch for making it, it does make browsing possible on mobile like 50%of the time :D

[–] Spaceinv8er@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

I had issues with the video player as well. I solved it by clearing my cache for the app.

Never experienced your other issue though.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 96 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That was a very diplomatic response to some stupid asshole like this.

[–] alphabethunter@lemmy.world 30 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Are you allowed to respond honestly?

If you made a response like:

"Dear reviewer,

When I wrote the code for this app, which displays content from reddit that I have no control over, I never envisioned some fuckwit moron would be so stupid that he or she would get mad at the App for just displaying what's on reddit.

In the future, I'll add a disclaimer that goes "Are you some anti-DEI piece of shit who thinks everything is Woke? Press the large red button icon below to only see the "based" subreddit." I hope this will help you understand how to use this App, you fucking idiot.

Sincerely, Developer"

would that get your kicked off the store?

"This oven is horrible! 0 stars! Everything my wife makes on it or in it tastes terrible, "

Sorry, yo. Ya can't fix stupid.

If he think Reddit hates his conservative views, he’d explode if he came here

[–] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 5 points 14 hours ago

It’s funny when someone mildly conservative shows up here.

[–] amon@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

He'd be blocked banned defederated very quickly

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Defederating an instance because it had one conservative user thta was already banned

[–] amon@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

They all tend to flock on similar instances

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)
[–] amon@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Probably yea, I used to be on a different instance under a different identity but your digital identity should always be pseudonymous and nomadic. Defed .world if needed. I'll be fine :)

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 6 hours ago

Lemmy.world has the most conservatives because it has the most users

If all instances defederated lemmy.world, it will probably stop being the most used, giving the title of instance with most conservatives to another instance

Like writing a product review and giving one star for shipping speed lol.

[–] Oyml77@lemmy.today 80 points 1 day ago

Or recipe reviews.

Standard reply:

Dear sir or madam:

Some crackpot has written me an abusive message, and it seems they used your account to send it. I'm replying to you as a courtesy in case you wish to take action against this lunatic.

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 131 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm guessing you're basing it off of this official legal correspondence, which I am including below for people who haven't seen it:

Dear Mr. Cox:

Attached is a letter that we received on November 19, 1974. I feel that you should be aware that some asshole is signing your name to stupid letters.

Very truly yours,

CLEVELAND STADIUM CORP.

I thought reddit killed third party apps? Or are you paying the $10,000,000 per month or whatever it is?

[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 51 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It just scrapes for data, you can’t log in, post, or comment so no need to use the API

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

lol nice.

But if you can’t login, how is this angry user going to customize his feed?

[–] perviouslyiner@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

The app itself remembers what subs to show you

[–] overdevs@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

You can subscribe to subs without logging in.

[–] codeddji@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

hey man i use your app rdx. My only sane reason to browse reddit…..thank you for making it….i wish search suggestions were better ( eg . if specific subredit is not famous , it wont index and show under search suggestions real time as i am typing )

[–] overdevs@lemmy.world 16 points 21 hours ago

In next update.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 104 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That's like being mad at the bus because your chosen destination for the day sucked.
