Man, I agree with your comment you left there; he needs to get over himself.

While I didn't read his whole rant, I read a good bit of it. He does have a point, in that he's not obliged to accommodate users, and nor are we obliged to use his client.

This is basically history repeating itself again with the Beehaw defederation. Fitting with the motifs associated with history repeating itself, the repeat is a temu knock off of the original.

In both cases it seems pretty immature, at least in approach, but structure isn't necessarily bad and it's a big ocean.
