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.
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.
Is there a They/Them for Sir or Madam? Must include that as well.
I’d guess “To whom it may concern” would be the most gender neutral/inclusive way to rephrase that.
“Dearest snookums”
“Sir or Madam” already is a “They/Them”.
Not that I know of. Unless someone has stated their gender or pronouns, I just use people’s names and avoid anything that assumes or implies gender.
"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!
That was a very diplomatic response to some stupid asshole like this.
Too diplomatic even.
Are you allowed to respond honestly?
If you made a response like:
"Dear reviewer,
When I wrote the code for this app, which displays content from reddit that I have no control over, I never envisioned some fuckwit moron would be so stupid that he or she would get mad at the App for just displaying what’s on reddit.
In the future, I’ll add a disclaimer that goes “Are you some anti-DEI piece of shit who thinks everything is Woke? Press the large red button icon below to only see the “based” subreddit.” I hope this will help you understand how to use this App, you fucking idiot.
Sincerely, Developer"
would that get your kicked off the store?
That’s like being mad at the bus because your chosen destination for the day sucked.
'Murican voters.
Dutch ones are the same. Source: am dutch
The stupid bus made it rain!
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.
on the French Amazon I once bought Argan oil and one of the 1 star reviews was “very disappointed, smells and feels like oil”.
I kid you not.
How does it work after the API butchering?
Yeah I’m curious too! What technical sorcery is OP doing for presumably free API access
Their themes were sexy as well. Infinite scrolling was off by default, I have to say if I weren’t avoiding going back to reddit, it looks pretty great.
Just challenge the review because it’s not about the app? If you can’t do that, then just let it go.
If he think Reddit hates his conservative views, he’d explode if he came here
It would explode his head
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?
Probably yea, I used to be on a different instance under a different identity but your digital identity should always be pseudonymous and nomadic. Defed .world if needed. I’ll be fine :)
Lemmy.world has the most conservatives because it has the most users
If all instances defederated lemmy.world, it will probably stop being the most used, giving the title of instance with most conservatives to another instance
It’s funny when someone mildly conservative shows up here.
Ahh they stepped out of their echochamber because the app shows r/all if youre not subscribed to any subreddit. Also, sometimes im forced to use reddit, love your app.
What a fucking idiot holy shit.
hey man i use your app rdx. My only sane reason to browse reddit……thank you for making it….i wish search suggestions were better ( eg . if specific subredit is not famous , it wont index and show under search suggestions real time as i am typing )
In next update.
How dare you make a woke app. /s
You were way too kind and accommodating towards that piece of shit.
probably the kind of person to scream “woke DEI” everytime they see someone who isn’t white working at burger king.
I thought reddit killed third party apps? Or are you paying the $10,000,000 per month or whatever it is?
It just scrapes for data, you can’t log in, post, or comment so no need to use the API
lol nice.
But if you can’t login, how is this angry user going to customize his feed?
You can subscribe to subs without logging in.
The app itself remembers what subs to show you

Oh boohooh did the poor wittle “conservative” encounter pushback on its silly wittle Fox-news-adled ideas?
