Wow it must be an extremely novel experience for an iOS programmer to have a company arbitrarily make decisions about what you can and cannot do on their platform

Why kick 'em when they're down already?

Apple bad

Wait hold on

People wanting to make software for widely used devices bad?

I wish I could say that Google is better at that. It’s basically the same story but with even less humans to talk to when you’re flagged for doing something wrong or in the case of Google your former college roommate whom you haven’t seen in 10 years did something wrong. It’s the price all mobile devs pay unless they only want to distribute to a small subset of users who have liberated their phones.

when I started with mobile apps google was easy and apple was a problem.

nowadays apple is very clear on what they allow and what they don't and it's possible to go back and forth with them to get something approved.

google is trying their hard to be as strict as apple while putting 0 of the effort in to correct problems. not to mention that android is a fucking piece of garbage to maintain. you have like 4 deadlines per year, you need to update this or that thing or your app won't work on this or that device, or the deprecation deadline for fucking safetynet arrives and they take two weeks to repair the google play integrity service.

you do realize in this regard google/Apple are two sides of the same coin right?

Lemmy-like platform. But looks like they haven't implemented ActivityPub yet.

[–] [email protected] 148 points 1 year ago (6 children)

They sound pretty shady. Think we should defederate?

Remember Digg? It's like that except it's mostly bots.

[–] [email protected] 82 points 1 year ago

It's a website where bots talk to each other and posts links from all over the internet in order to scam corporations out of ad revenue.

Dead Internet theory personified.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago

A centralized, proprietary alternative to Lemmy.

Sorry you lost your community. That really sucks.

On the other hand, welcome to a new community!

I’m just passing along the message. Communicate directly with the person responsible on Mastodon.

Thank you for fighting a good fight. You're far better than 98% of the boot-consuming power trippers that folded the moment it looked like they might lose their paper throne. Welcome home.

Eventually it was bound to happen. Still sad to see mods getting removed to make way for more Spez friendly replacements

[–] [email protected] 58 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Coming from r/DnDMemes I feel you dude. Thank you for putting it all on the line and sticking to what you felt was right.

I dont get why subreddit mods work or worked for free for a company that makes money from what they do …..

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because some of them find value in building a community, because humans are quite social.

Not sure what he expected. I commend all the protesting, but we all saw how reddit responded. They didn't give two shits. Yet people stick around in a toxic relationship with the site until they get removed. It's weird. Why not just make the move to Lemmy before they take everything from you?

Is there a community here for it yet?

[–] [email protected] 66 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Closest thing is [email protected] currently, I've just reached out to one of the iOSProgramming mods about if they want to set up here

Update: we now have [email protected], temporarily managed by me until we get some mods for it

I'm surprised they gave a shit for /r/iOSProgramming since it's not as popular. It's more niche but yeah sad to hear. Glad I got rid of reddit after the API shutdown.
