That’s true.

Thanks for not immediately dogpiling me and instead actually making some great points. I appreciate the perspective.

It is not. OP is a rent-seeking opportunist building their own closed source app that will try to upcharge you everywhere you look. If you want proof, just look at their other apps.

Here’s a review of their BlueSky app:

Its annoying, I dont like it, makes me not want pro, I havent even really used the app yet just getting hit with messages telling me to upgrade, feels antifediverse

You asked for suggestions, do not have anything in the ui that if clicked makes you pay for pro and doesnt let you use it, have one tab for pro, nothing else should lead you to that, the ui is already laggy, I accidentally click a menu option not related to pro and I get a fat popup telling me to pay for features.

Pro should be optional and burried in a menu, there shouldnt be 10 different menu items that dont function and lead you to a payment page.

Hi,

Thanks for your input! I'm sorry if this makes your experience with SoraSNS less favorable!

Like most other iOS Fediverse apps, this app contains in-app purchase to enable certain features. If you let me know which features you are looking to use in specific that triggered the purchase alert, I would make these features free or paid only after several days of usage.

I think we all know at this point what happened to Gus. To summarize, Gus Johnson was at one point like the golden boy of YouTube, as a comedian who made short form skits which often would break into tens of millions of views per video. If you weren’t there for his prime, it was insane. Him and his best friend Eddy Burback, who moved from Chicago specifically to live with him, and their podcast, were also defining periods of the commentary craze of the late 2010s.

In August/September 2021, Gus Johnson broke up with his girlfriend Abelina Sabrina, with both sides stating on twitter that it was mutual. In October 2021 however, shortly after the breakup, Sabrina made a video on her channel alleging emotional abuse from an ex boyfriend years prior who had taken advantage of a near fatal ectopic pregnancy she had underwent to manipulate her. These included tidbits such as the ex arguing with doctors and medical professionals to not provide her medical service, forcing her to get an abortion in the earlier stages even though she had wanted to keep the baby, and probably most famously and disgustingly, going to drink and get wasted at a bar with friends while Sabrina had a life threatening medical operation to remove the fetus. Right after the videos release, many speculated on the identity of the aforementioned ex-boyfriend, universally settling on Gus Johnson. While initially ignored by Sabrina, she would end up liking tweets accusing him, and eventually came out and confirmed that Gus was the boyfriend. As a result, Eddy Burback publicly distanced himself from Gus, and the podcast was cancelled. Gus would release an apology video that was widely panned, and then go into hiding for a few months, before resurfacing in his first public appearance of 2022 on the stream of the controversial PaymoneyWubby. In contrast, Gus was much more defensive, retracting his apology and sharing his side of the story. While this was initially seen as controversial, spawning from a video response from Nickisnotgreen, the whole dispute eventually died down. Now, Gus is really struggling popularity wise, with constant viewer decline, and a polarizing image that he has not escaped from.

So, what has happened since the PaymoneyWubby stream? It’s so bizarre that a figure of Gus’ size (4 million subscribers at his prime), who had such a meteoric downfall, just got forgotten about like that. In contrast, his former collaborator Eddy Burback has garnered pretty impressive popularity after leaving the podcast. I remember when he had like twenty thousand subscribers. I just have not heard about Gus in a hot minute. That was the most painful online controversy I can remember. “Boys support boys” was always a very wholesome brand he created, and it seemed like his actions had just betrayed everything he stood for.

There would be FAR less terrorism because terrorism is just the violent reaction to injustices perpetrated BY THE STATE by people that feel they’ve been wronged by the state.

A show that precisely not one actual person wanted funded over shows that everyone wanted but were cancelled.

Personally, I don’t never gain weight. I really should lose weight.

It’s cool and all. But a completely new art form? I think you’re overselling it…then again, if it’s a marketing tactic, it’s a solid one.

I like to start a major fist-fight with the first student that dares to question my god-like authority. I deadpan an old-timey "put-up-your-dukes-sonny" kind of fisticuff.. they buy it 100% of the time. I like to let the student get a few in before I absolutely make mincemeat out of them.

After that, the students seem to really respect me. I have to maintain that bitter grudge with that one student the rest of the semester, though. At no point do I want them to think I've gone soft.

Java, huh? Is that an inherited tech stack or was that by choice?
