I’m going to use my mod powers that I abandoned and didn’t ask for when they were given 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 communication or compensation from the dev team.
I’m willing to give bean a chance before drawing any conclusions. Some times real live stuff happens and you can’t get back to releasing updates or even announcements for a while.
However, I would really appreciate hearing some news about what’s going on. Is it family stuff, relationship tragedies, hospital time, project prioritization, alien kidnapping, being stuck in a time loop or something else?
As star gate fan, I am sure it is a alien time loop thingy . Thanks for bringing this up!
Imagine if aliens were to get pissed off by a silly “yo mama” joke and then decide to punish you by throwing you into a 1 year long time loop reliving 2020 over and over again. People tend to forget the kind of a dumpster fire that was.
