Yes, it's a one person project at this point.
However, to say hardly anyone uses it seems a little unusual. We have hundreds of thousands of users.
And yes, I was very very tired of the site being hammered by so-called "AI" scrapers and running slow. I've gotten this under control now.
@jonas said in Why was Libre.fm support removed:
I noticed that the service had been unresponsive for a long time, so I did a little research and noticed the website had been replaced with "Time is running out.", "The web is being destroyed from within by companies harvesting the creative work", links to "1800www.com" and other weird stuff. Typical stuff for a site that has been hacked, so to be honest, I thought the site was hacked.
The entire time that was on the homepage, there were also Recently Played tracks and I never heard from you. A quick email would have set things correct.
I have a number of people asking me about Strawberry, if you won't add support back do you have a suggestion for an alternative player?
It's a shame two open source projects can't benefit the users.
