@neatnik@social.lol So, I looked back at the thread you posted about it. You kind of jumped hard on the guy and he got mad about it. I hate spam as much as the next guy (long track record of posting backlink requests on main), but you’re accusing him of not creating something with soul. Which, if I spent time creating something, I would find pretty unfair.
Is it possible he just wanted to build something nice? Did you talk to the guy or read up on him before taking this defensive stance?

@neatnik@social.lol I don’t respond this way to criticize you (after all, you may be right), but because *my* reaction when reading this was, “Hey, can I interview this guy, he’s doing something interesting on the internet.” I think it’s important to approach folks who build things assuming best intentions. Unless they’re asking for a casino link, in which case, screw ’em.
