Theres a LOT of people talking about "dark patterns" that dont read the code. Its frustrating.

I like what piefed does. I dont like the discourse and FUD over things that dont exist. Its a FREE service thats also open source...seriously.

I feel like people are used to complaining to multi-billion dollar agencies in order to get things working. Instead of opening up the code and diving in. And then fixing or forking the issue out.

I have another popular git project and there are people (the main creators of Laravel in this case) that think the library should not exist. But its still being downloaded in the millions. Once a project is big enough, theres always some supposive controversy just because it exists.

So in a way, congrats @rimu@piefed.social ! You made it!
