If Obsidian stops acheong08, I'm done with Obsidian.

I want a durable way to edit, sync, and preserve my notes, not just a pretty interface.

I'm happy to pay Obsidian for sync, but if they PM this to only one distribution channel and subsequently enshittify it, I don't want it. Stopping acheong08 would be a bad signal forewarning what's to come.

Dude, just pay the $8, no reason to cluch your pearls like that.

I don't think my comment was uncalled for. The OP was worried they broke the TOS by writing their own service. I wanted to reassure them that any move by Obsidian to squash them would be met with incredible scrutiny.

I already pay Obsidian, both monthly and with the one-time donation. I mentioned it in my comment. My post was upvoted +3 until you responded with snark. Now it's at -4.

Not sure how I'm pearl clutching.

> would be met with incredible scrutiny.

i highly doubt that. maybe from you but that is of no consequence really (to obsidian). hence your strongly worded comments are a bit over the top
