Piefed is buggy and slow and Blorp sucks...

Blorp dev here. A few issues with your post:

Your tone is very rude. I’ve spent 100s of hours and ~$600 of my own money on this app. It’s free, i’m sorry it has bugs :)

Your feedback could be actionable if you just drop the attitude and open a well written GitHub issue saying “this thing is an issue and here’s my justification”. But as soon as I see you say “it’s really janky guys” and “it’s pretty mid” I completely stop listening to what you have to say

So good job. Your post is an unpopular opinion :)

Blorp absolutely does not “suck” and this user either has a problem or is just generally rude.

throughout my nearly 3 years making Photon I’ve had my fair share of hate comments, including one thread on a post, by someone encouraging people to check it out, filled with people absolutely dunking on it.

your software is great enough to be noticed and hosted by several Lemmy and piefed instances, and you’ve got nearly 1000 or more users on a client for a super niche platform. you’ve done something right.

speaking from experience, hate comments really do dig into you even amongst a sea of positivity, but I hope you know that the opinion of 1 immature person does not matter in the grand scheme of things.
