Like what do I even do at this point. Its a free app and these reviews hurt app store performance,
Like writing a product review and giving one star for shipping speed lol.
Or recipe reviews.
“I didn’t have flour, so I substituted lard. I also didn’t have sugar, so I substituted salted cod. Worst cake ever. 1 star.”
I read somewhere that the best places to eat are Yelp 2 star places where the reviewer whines about service. It suggests the reviewer wanted to give a 1 star review because they were mad but had to concede that the food was good, hence 2 stars.
on the French Amazon I once bought Argan oil and one of the 1 star reviews was “very disappointed, smells and feels like oil”.
I kid you not.
"This oven is horrible! 0 stars! Everything my wife makes on it or in it tastes terrible, "
Sorry, yo. Ya can’t fix stupid.
Haha you made my day!
That’s like being mad at the bus because your chosen destination for the day sucked.
'Murican voters.
Dutch ones are the same. Source: am dutch
The stupid bus made it rain!
That was a very diplomatic response to some stupid asshole like this.
Too diplomatic even.
Are you allowed to respond honestly?
If you made a response like:
"Dear reviewer,
When I wrote the code for this app, which displays content from reddit that I have no control over, I never envisioned some fuckwit moron would be so stupid that he or she would get mad at the App for just displaying what’s on reddit.
In the future, I’ll add a disclaimer that goes “Are you some anti-DEI piece of shit who thinks everything is Woke? Press the large red button icon below to only see the “based” subreddit.” I hope this will help you understand how to use this App, you fucking idiot.
Sincerely, Developer"
would that get your kicked off the store?
Can you report the review as not relevant?
Probably. I have no experience with the Google Play Store end of things, but we’ve gotten non-reviews written by crackpots removed from our Google Business profile by just pointing out to Google that they were either off topic or from someone who we could not identify in any of our records as being a person who actually did business with us.
For example, there was one guy who went around copy-pasting the same one star rant to seemingly every retail business in the city whining about mask requirements during COVID, which didn’t have jack monkey squat do to with us and was in fact a state government mandate that we did not control. As a public business we have to comply with the law. Google took that one down when we reported it, although I still see examples of the same screed from the same guy attached to other businesses who apparently didn’t have the wherewithal to complain.
I imagine “app that serves third party content the author doesn’t control and reviewer is complaining about the content not the app” is a situation that is very well understood at Google. Whether or not you can make them give a shit is a different question…
I used to work at the pub in England and the landlord used to write the insane reviews on the chalkboard.
Sure they pulled down your ratings but if you’re at 4.9 anyway it doesn’t really matter and it’s better to showcase the insane reviews than the actually legitimately negative ones.
The best one was the guy that tried to sue us because he was stung by a bee. Because apparently the bees work for us.
I have reported it to Apple, let’s see.
I hope they delete it. Good luck!
If he think Reddit hates his conservative views, he’d explode if he came here
It would explode his head
He’d be blocked banned defederated very quickly
Defederating an instance because it had one conservative user thta was already banned
They all tend to flock on similar instances
Lemmy.world?
Probably yea, I used to be on a different instance under a different identity but your digital identity should always be pseudonymous and nomadic. Defed .world if needed. I’ll be fine :)
Lemmy.world has the most conservatives because it has the most users
If all instances defederated lemmy.world, it will probably stop being the most used, giving the title of instance with most conservatives to another instance
It’s funny when someone mildly conservative shows up here.
What a fucking idiot holy shit.
How does it work after the API butchering?
Yeah I’m curious too! What technical sorcery is OP doing for presumably free API access
Their themes were sexy as well. Infinite scrolling was off by default, I have to say if I weren’t avoiding going back to reddit, it looks pretty great.
I thought reddit killed third party apps? Or are you paying the $10,000,000 per month or whatever it is?
It just scrapes for data, you can’t log in, post, or comment so no need to use the API
lol nice.
But if you can’t login, how is this angry user going to customize his feed?
You can subscribe to subs without logging in.
The app itself remembers what subs to show you
Just challenge the review because it’s not about the app? If you can’t do that, then just let it go.
How dare you make a woke app. /s
Ahh they stepped out of their echochamber because the app shows r/all if youre not subscribed to any subreddit. Also, sometimes im forced to use reddit, love your app.
Reddit is so liberal /s
It is. Lemmy is further left, but Reddit is absolutely left of center.
Its run by Zios
The pizzeria?!? It all maQes sense now
I would mind pizzerias running things tbh
hey man i use your app rdx. My only sane reason to browse reddit……thank you for making it….i wish search suggestions were better ( eg . if specific subredit is not famous , it wont index and show under search suggestions real time as i am typing )
In next update.
“Tell me you don’t know how reddit works without saying you don’t know how reddit works.”
I’m giving 1-star ratings to weather apps because it’s too cold outside.
You joke but meteorologists have received threats because they forecast bad weather on special events.
This was so bad, that one of the local meteorologists took to making a promo bump with a sarcastic “Thanks Delkis” anytime the weather report was on. It was hilarious hearing him explain that people complained that HE was in charge of the weather.
This person sounds insane like one of those people who lives in an RV with signs all over it talking about 5G nanobots and how water causes cancer.
There’s a park in my area. Literally every time I have been there, over several years, there is a van in the parking lot. It has a wire mesh bust of Hillary Clinton on top, and is covered with writings about various conspiracy theories about her, and slogans like “Hillary for Jail!”
Possibly the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.

They probably don’t understand how anything works because they think learning about stuff is “wOkE” and anyone who disagrees with them is a “leftist”.
