    If they just wanted to get paid, they’d restrict API access to paid accounts and be done with it. It’s pretty clear they’re specifically trying to kill third-party apps.

    Edit: The irony is that I’m not using a third-party app with Lemmy. I don’t need one here; the built-in web interface is already clean, efficient, and mobile-friendly.

    At $0.24 per 1,000 API calls, this must be the most inefficient backend code to ever exist if that’s “fair pricing” as opposed to ridiculous pricing.
