Like what do I even do at this point. Its a free app and these reviews hurt app store performance,
Standard reply:
Dear sir or madam:
Some crackpot has written me an abusive message, and it seems they used your account to send it. I’m replying to you as a courtesy in case you wish to take action against this lunatic.
Is there a They/Them for Sir or Madam? Must include that as well.
Sadam.
To
it may concern:
“Sir or Madam” already is a “They/Them”.
I’m guessing you’re basing it off of this official legal correspondence, which I am including below for people who haven’t seen it:
Dear Mr. Cox:
Attached is a letter that we received on November 19, 1974. I feel that you should be aware that some asshole is signing your name to stupid letters.
Very truly yours,
CLEVELAND STADIUM CORP.
James N. Bailey, General Counsel

Not that, specifically, though it might be indirectly?
I’m basing it off of one of Gyles Brandreth’s yarns where he described how he dealt with abusive constituents when he was a MP.
Dear sir or madam:
Some crackpot has written me an abusive letter, and they’ve signed your name at the bottom. […]
Whether he came up with that or adapted it from something prior, I don’t know.
Like writing a product review and giving one star for shipping speed lol.
Or recipe reviews.
“I didn’t have flour, so I substituted lard. I also didn’t have sugar, so I substituted salted cod. Worst cake ever. 1 star.”
I read somewhere that the best places to eat are Yelp 2 star places where the reviewer whines about service. It suggests the reviewer wanted to give a 1 star review because they were mad but had to concede that the food was good, hence 2 stars.
"This oven is horrible! 0 stars! Everything my wife makes on it or in it tastes terrible, "
Sorry, yo. Ya can’t fix stupid.
Haha you made my day!
No reason to engage an idiot, not like you’re going to change his mind.
That’s not the point. When you respond to reviews like this the goal is to point out to everyone else who might be reading it that the reviewer is in fact a nut, and therefore their opinion should be discarded out of hand.
That’s like being mad at the bus because your chosen destination for the day sucked.

The Reddit populace is pretty leftie. Except for the occasional brave soul commenting here and there, you have to search out certain subreddits to hear conservative views.
Not that your app has anything to do with that, of course.
If he think Reddit hates his conservative views, he’d explode if he came here
He’d be blocked banned defederated very quickly
Defederating an instance because it had one conservative user thta was already banned
They all tend to flock on similar instances
Lemmy.world?
Your first error was to create a reddit app.
Your second error was to not create or contribute to a Lemmy app instead.Hope that helped. :)
Why not contribute to Mbin & PieFed ?
And this is actually the issue. As a developer I want to build and app based on what interests me. Then I want to write a post about it.
The comments:
- person 1: Why would you waste your time building an app for that platform, you should build an app for this platform that way less people use”
- person 2: “nah that’s a waste of time you should build an app for this even more niche platform with even less users”
- person 3: “you should just use RSS feeds and anything else is a waste of time”
Me as a developer “thanks guys I just wanted to build an app for a platform I’m passionate about”
Wrote this comment on my own lemmy client, because I like using about lemmy :)
That’s fine as well.
That was a very diplomatic response to some stupid asshole like this.
this is what happens when you censor only one wing in social media
You’re left with wing nuts?
Hey I have done actual feedback/ issues with the app.
About half the time i try to load a video it fails to open it. This can occur on comments too.
Also sometimes going to a sub reddit and then a post then hitting back button on android will cause it to completely close the app, like the breadcrumbs history is missing so it thinks you just want to quit vs go back to the sub reddit or home.
Thanks a bunch for making it, it does make browsing possible on mobile like 50%of the time :D
I had issues with the video player as well. I solved it by clearing my cache for the app.
Never experienced your other issue though.
