Every comment is still available to read at the moment. This doesn't seem like the place for a long and elaborate recap. That's pretty much what it boils down to though. The irony is that several people harassed me and they are completely fine with that because it supports their biased opinion. If you look through their comment history they are very supportive of this particular piece of software. So anything against this is bad and must be banned. It likely wouldn't even matter what it is. They just ban first and justify it later and make up some nonsense such as "harassment".
The double irony is that they are going to end up harming lemmy.world and possibly do irreparable damage to the lemmyverse long term and then their friend will no longer be able to profit much from ads.
Which app are you referring to? Bluesky?
Mainly I want to know so I can avoid it, although I'm already avoiding Bluesky.
I don't think BlueSky has ads. At least not yet. The dispute is mainly around the mobile Lemmy app Sync. Which is a mobile UI for lemmy that inserts ads into Lemmy where there previously were none.
