Man, really fuck Spez. Christian just seems like such a genuinely good guy, who just was trying to build something great using Apple’s tools. The way he details the huge shift of direction from early 2023 to now in regards to them having no plans to change the API smells a lot like corpo-influence sinking their teeth in Spez and forcing this change ahead of the IPO.

Hopefully we can prove that this new model works and can be sustained long-term, and Christian can be enticed to revamp Apollo for the fediverse.
