To be honest, even if they undo that, the damage is done. Trust is lost. And to be honest, after hearing what Spez said about the vulnerable people who post on his site, I wouldn't want to touch the site even if I liked the official app.

Yeah, I'm never going back again. It was fun when it was supported by donations and user-focused, but it's essentially indistinguishable from Facebook at this point. I'm just glad this alternative exists.

There's a lot of stuff on the site that you'd only ever say in therapy, or AA, or never at all. But we don't need to give all of that value to some of the largest companies in the world for free
