@FediFollows I was so excited for @owncast and went to try it just to find out it doesn't support Apple Silicon Macs.

Amidst people mocking who wants to host livestreams on their Macs, they even said they want to drop Mac support altogether. Not cool ☹️

@rmasoni @FediFollows It's simply a resources problem. I don't own a Apple Silicon mac, and the number of people running Owncast in production on macs are very low. I'm not mocking them, I'm simply saying I can't support them and focusing on the most useful for the most people is all I can do.

@rmasoni @FediFollows Asking for help rarely yields results. Trust me, if it were that easy then none of this would be a problem. I'm sorry you're upset that your particular use case can't be supported, but I'm trying my best.

@owncast I truly appreciate that you're trying your best and I do not doubt it. I know how hard it can be to maintain an open source project of this magnitude. What you have achieved is nothing short of amazing.

I'm upset about how the situation was handled more than anything. That interaction could've been more positive and considering of the people that want to use the product.
