I'm really sorry to hear that... its really unfair for people to put so much stress on you for what should be essentially a fun project you do in your free time. I'm also hitting a high-score of unread github notifications (900+), and I have to take a ton of piano-breaks, and de-stress in any way I can.

Anyways, thank you for all you've done making mlem, put yourself and your own mental well-being first, and take care.

Sad to hear, but personal psychic health is important! Thank you so much for the work you have put in so far!

Your words are exactly why Notch, the creator of Minecraft sold Minecraft, and stopped all of his ongoing projects.

Also the reason Eric, developer of Stardew Valley, said his new game Haunted Chocolatier isn't coming to mobile, because the mobile community is so insanely toxic and entitled.

People suck.

Thanks for your work, much luck in the future!

Oof that’s sad to hear, understandable tho. I wish you all the best!

Oh man, I am so sorry the joy has been sucked out by others. I wish you all the very best for your physical and mental health.

Thank you brother. The app is one of the reasons many people is able to switch. That’s a legacy you left behind that everyone should be proud of you.

Project direction and requirements change. Stress isn’t what you are looking for, moving on is the best choice

Take care of yourself first, stick around to and just be a consumer of the platform is also okay

See you around in the new world of lemmy

Thank you for bringing Mlem to life! And wish you all the best on your other projects and ones to come in the future!

I really hope that you can find some joy in your other projects. I sincerely wish you all the best in the future!

Sigh

I'm sorry that you have to deal with dogshit people trying to tear you down. It's so sad how people try their hardest to make the world worse rather than attempting to make it better. I'd honestly say just fuck the internet and go live life. This whole thing with Reddit has opened my eyes a lot. There's just no need to be on the internet. Simply put, the internet is just noise.

Thank you for your work 🫡

Huge loss for the community 😢

Thanks for everything. Wish you all the best.

Thank you for everything, and sorry it became a sour experience. Most of all though, thank you for handing it over to others to continue! Too many projects just die; hopefully this one will live a long life.

Thank you for your contributions to this community, it's a shame it got to be such a big stressor in your life. Take your time and relax for a bit, your mental health is important

Oh man that sucks. I’ve been using mlem from the beginning since it’s nicer to browse from than the website. I hope this doesn’t sour your experience of this growing community and I hope you recognize your contributions to it and how many people you’ve helped get here.

Thanks for everything you've done. All the best

Best of luck with your other projects.

Sad it had to get to a place like this

Sorry to hear this, your personal health is always the most important thing. I hope you can find fun in your other projects and thank you for your hard work.

Thank you so much for Mlem! As a developer myself, I was blown away by how good mlem was for version 0.0.1. I would hope that in the spirit of federated communities and open source software that people would be understanding of the time constraints and challenges of working on a personal project for the benefit of everyone. I’m truly saddened that a small minority of selfish users soured an otherwise great start to a sorely needed app. I am looking forward to your future projects and hope that this and other thank you messages show how much we appreciate you and what you selflessly gave to us.

Sorry to hear that, i really enjoyed using the app. Thank you for your work! All the best to you, i hope you find joy in another project.

Mlem has been great for me. I really appreciate the work you have done. I think Mlem was pretty clutch in helping me move from reddit and get cozy over here. I hope you are proud. Best of everything to you on your next endeavors!!!!!!!

Best of luck with your other apps, and I hope you find fulfillment in your future endeavors ❤️ ❤️

the app worked great for me, thanks for having it available during the most needed time to switch over to the lemmy. and it feels like just a few days ago. :) best of luck on your future endeavors.

So sorry to hear that. Thankyou for your hard work

Every community will have its toxicity. Sorry you were a target for trying to do something useful and helpful. Take care of yourself, first and foremost.

Thank you very much for your work creating mlem, and I wish you the very best!

Also sorry to hear this, it’s been a pleasure working with you and for what it’s worth I agree that the app should be designed for the general user first and foremost.

Thank you for creating the project and for bringing this herd of cats together, hopefully we can continue moving it forward and it doesn’t become only for tech-nerds 🤞

I hope that you stay well and get back to having fun on your other projects - if you ever want to catch up give me a shout, but I’ll respect your request not to reach out

Take care,

Thank you for your time!

Good call on looking out for yourself! It’s hard to recognize when cutting ties to a project is for the best.

Thanks for all your work. Unfortunately some people can be very demanding to volunteers. I hope you will have a better time working on your other projects and won’t stop enjoying programming because of other people’s actions.

It's been a good run, and best of luck with future endeavors. Mlem established a good standard of design and usability for others to strive to attain.

It’s open source, right? As a dev I’ve got no problems contributing and spreading some workload. I’ll go check it out.

Thank you for everything you've done.

I don't know what to say. Take care of yourself. ❤️

Thank you for you work. This app has the feeling that Apollo does, it’s clean and sharp.

Thank you so much for that!

That you for your work!

Oh this is so unexpected. The excitement I felt at seeing Mlem move forward so quickly with so much support from its users was one of the things that inspired me to believe in Lemmy and to start working on Limbo. Thank you for your incredible work, and well done for having the insight and courage to step back when you needed to do so. Please take some time to look after yourself.

Yeah if you don’t enjoy the work don’t do it! Open source leaves its own legacy. You built the starting framework and thanks for that work! Now go chillax!

Takes care man, no worries!

Sincerely, thank you.
