        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.

          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

            Apollo dev must understand that Lemmy is slowly gaining ground. He could build an instance or rebuild Apollo into a Lemmy client.

      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.

    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?

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

        I think that’s essentially what will happen, but they’ll just remove comments they don’t like. If no one showed up at all they’d look even dumber. But it’s going to be a trainwreck for the ages so I’m looking forward to the show.

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

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

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