The blorpblorp dev literally thanked the OP in this comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/21972414
He doesn't really seem impacted negatively by the lack of attribution, which is further evidenced by the lack of attribution in Blorpblorp itself, the same way Photon doesn't have it either.
Some people just want to create apps for the sake of it, without having people using their apps being pointed out that they don't give credits to them.
I'm not gonna argue with you about this anymore. This is stupid. You didn't even make this post. It's just respectful to attribute FOSS when you use and share it. That's all. Goodbye.
And it's also respectful do not point out something like "lack of attribution" to the lead dev of the main platform of the Threadiverse.
Your comment looked like a criticism of the post, and adding Blorp to Piefed.social, when the Blorp dev literally thanked Rimu to add it.
Contributors (devs, admins, mods, posters, commenters) burn out is real, and this of negative unjustified comments contribute to it. Why should people try to develop this platform when they get greeted with "well, you should probably have done this minor thing that nobody cares about, on top of everything else you've done".
