I've used Relay for nearly 10 years, my entire time on Reddit. I'm sad to see things go this way and for the developer to play Reddit's game. What a disappointment. I would love love LOVE if the same app infrastructure was focused on Lemmy/The Fediverse. It's such a great app. What a shame to see it go this way.

Relay and dbrady are the best. I'd kill for him to make an app here

I can't blame the guy for protecting his paycheck and trying g to make the situation work. This all came suddenly and everyone has IRL expenses to cover. I can't afford to take a paycut on a purely principled stand, and I'd wager most of us can't.

On the thread where he shared his thoughts on this plan, he did not rule out the idea of developing for other other other fediverse platforms. He has great vision for UI/UX that I'd welcome over here.

Give it time and let things play out.
