It's gonna be heavily moderated and anything negative will be removed, probably.

they lied about Apollo blackmailing them I wouldn't be surprised

[–] erogenouswarzone@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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.

sorry duud I'm using jerboa and didn't get a notification for this, looks like people have already clarified below though

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

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?

[–] fomo_erotic@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Its a meme bro.

The kind of idiot that ruins their website by killing third party tools then lying about it

[–] markipol@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Also slandering developers who have pretty much done your job for you for years

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.

Guys I think all this talk about Apollo is taking the spotlight away from my new movie, Rampart.

[–] Ado@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I used to be the CEO of one of the most visited sites before we decided to blow it up, AMAA!

[–] itchick2014@midwest.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hope it beats EA for downvotes lol.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I feel like it will, I swear he has every redditor pissed off at him right now.

[–] averagedrunk@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Because there's no way they'll manipulate that number in the database.

[–] argv_minus_one@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

They didn't bother with the announcement of the API prices. Only 4% upvoted.

[–] kaffeebohne@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Could we theoretically pay reddit for API access and log / monitor any changes to the vote counts that way ?

[–] frippa@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I think it's still free till the 1rst of July, so, if someone has experience they could do something like that

[–] cowleggies@reddthat.com 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is going to be better than the Woody Harrelson Rampart AMA. And by better I mean an unmitigated dumpster fire. Can't wait.

[–] Xer0@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Bro come on, let's just talk about Rampart. Alright?

[–] stanleytweedle@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I know this won't happen but the best possible outcome would be if nobody showed up.
