I emphasized LIKELY, since you brought up a good point.
Thanks. I’ll add that to the main post.

Bean has likely been abandoned by dev

Bean has likely been abandoned by dev - sh.itjust.works

I’m going to use my mod powers that I abandoned didn’t ask for back to warn potential subscribers to steer clear of Bean for now at the very least. As many of us have purchased lifetime subscriptions with promised updates not being delivered and communication from the dev team all but nonexistent, I think it’s safe to assume that Bean has been abandoned. Please cancel any existing recurring subscriptions if you have them and do not subscribe if you haven’t. There are many other good Lemmy clients out there. I personally have switched to Voyager, but people also seem to like Thunder and Mlem. I apologize for my part in all this, just know that I was duped as well, and received no compensation from the devs.

Nothing can stop… THE ANIMAL!

I’m also feeling scammed, and I used to mod this channel.

Things started seeming fishy to me when Steve never responded to any of my messages or used any of the support tools I put together for him.

I ended up resigning my mod position a week or so after release. I wasn’t too shocked when the development ceased.

I still have Bean installed but mostly use Voyager now.

Now that I’ve had the chance to try both (thanks to [email protected]), I can say that Mastadon seems more familiar to me as a former Twitter user. Despite being a Twitter spinoff, Bluesky seems to be trying to reinvent the flow of things. I’m not quite sure how hashtags (or their equivalent) work there.

I’m not sure which is better yet, as I’m too new to Bluesky to really form an opinion, but those are my initial impressions.

I’d like to see the National Weather Service and local government agencies start posting to one or both though, as weather and traffic are the only reasons I look at Twitter anymore, and I’d prefer not to support it at all.

I’d love to check it out. I’ve been on the waiting list for months.
Looks like 1.0.7 has hit the App Store!
Glad to see you back!
