Ok. But other people can think about their doings in advance and foresee the consequences. Piefed's development is not how a mature person with ‘twenty-five years of experience’ makes open-source software.
Lemmy recently removed a feature using lemmy.ml as a source of truth for federated communities: https://lemmy.ml/comment/23400094
All Fediverse developers make mistakes.
That feature was part of the development version, and never meant to be included in any official release.
Sure, but there is a difference between a hacked together solution being removed as the community expanded, and coding in a petty gripe with a particular user.
