  The line between webapp and app is very thin these days anyway.

  While the user experience may be similar (and in many cases is identical) access to device information is different. For instance, a webapp can not determine the devices volume whereas an Android app can. Device APIs can provide much more confidence that an activity has occurred. I doubt this was an arbitrary decision or gate-keeping by the developers.

  Pointless gatekeeping by the devs

  More likely it’s to ensure that you’ve actually listened to the podcast you’re rating

  I find I have much less Internet fights in the fediverse than I used to on commercial “social” media. Reddit and Facebook would bring out the worst of my pettiness 😅 I have had many lovely conversations on here.

  That data is available is the ActivityPub but as far as I know, you don’t have access to the vote data as a Lemmy user. You would have access to this data if you were running your own Lemmy server.

  But honestly, let it go. Someone stole fake Internet points from you. It costs you nothing but it cost them 5 minutes of their lives. You’re having a fight with some stranger that doesn’t value their own time. Value your time and stop feeding these kinds of energy vampires. You deserve better! Have a wonderful day my friend :)

  Did someone get in a petty Internet fight? Image
