I was seeing downvotes of hundreds of thousands and in some case even millions. But that’s not the case when I log in from the standard Lemmy UI. (See left of picture) Also, tens of thousands of dollars are being solicited from the app (see right) Finally, some odd spam posts appear only via this app (middle right).
I don’t know if this app is abandoned, but to the users: be warned. I’ve switched to alexandrite.app out of safety concerns.
Oh man that was kind of shocking but funny. It shows @Xylight@lemdro.id is really commited to this. Hope the “Premium” thing doesn’t give them ideas, though
If I unironically monetize photon in any other way than donations, shoot me.
It is april 1st, you’re safe.
It showed me 2.4 mil downvotes on this comment
You may want to take note of the date today, which may explain unusual behavior. :)
I see now. They definitely committed to the part!
the cat and their invaders are taking over Photon. i will fight back.
I will pray for your victory.
It’s rare to see an April Fools actually work, and the last one I recall that had some up in arms was the infamous Predictable posts are driving me insane

We worked super hard on the above in the background and bravo @Xylight@lemdro.id - you just became GermainZ tier!
Has this been happening longer than the past 24 hours?
