@notfire@notfire.cc Hi, thanks for your feedback, though I think you misunderstood the spirit of the project. The idea for this app comes from my own personal needs - it's not a “vibe company” startup project. It aims to fill a specific gap: full client support for snac. Snac doesn't fully support the Mastodon API because it's not Mastodon, but it speaks the ActivityPub protocol perfectly and, in my opinion, deserves respect.
I built it for myself.

As for the pricing, I kept it free for the communities I manage (BSD Cafe and illumos Cafe) and snac instances because the people there and the creator of snac have given me a lot.
It’s simply my way of giving back.
Also, regarding EXIF: many apps don't strip it client-side (instances might, but depending on the implementation, it's not a given).

You clearly have strong opinions, but a piece of advice: you can disagree with a project without needlessly trashing others' work. You are always free to just scroll past. I've been contributing to the Fediverse and digital freedom for a very long time, and while I always welcome constructive feedback to improve, basic respect goes a long way.
