- Piskvorrr 9y ago¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - if the powers-that-be at Pocket wish to shoot themselves in the collective foot, that's their prerogative; I'm not about to grovel in their general direction. This has, historically, been the impulse to abandon ship and look for an alternative, signalling more walled garden and/or service shutdown ahead.

- kup0 9y agoWhy artificially restrict a feature and then make users beg to get it back? That's quite user-hostile.
