    He exported the code as a patch, while not knowing it would make her (correctly) the author. His intention very clearly looks to be as if to use her code without bringing over the authorship. And he did do exactly that later on with copying the themes and renaming it.

    So yes I believe that warrants calling out at the time he did steal the code.

    I am not saying he stole the code here, I am simply saying he is jacking the new features being introduced in an effort to harm PyLova by making it not be able to stand out with unique features. These are really the only big new user facing features he is adding and it’s conveniently shortly after we do.





  • These are only being added straight after PyLova does it. And considering Rimu’s hostile history it’s clearly an attempt to try to ensure PyLova cannot gain traction with its own unique feature sets.

    And the way they are being added is not compatible with PyLova’s methods. Which breaks Fediverse compatibility. If any software such as Lemmy were to implement it in the future they would most likely ensure compatibility with the larger userbase PieFed model.

    This is the similar to Microsoft’s “Embrace, extend, and extinguish” philosophy to kill off the competition.
