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?
[Edit: upon reflection, this post went too far. To any who saw it, I apologize.]
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. Itβs basically the same story but with even less humans to talk to when youβre flagged for doing something wrong or in the case of Google your former college roommate whom you havenβt seen in 10 years did something wrong. Itβs 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.

What's reddit
Lemmy-like platform. But looks like they haven't implemented ActivityPub yet.
They sound pretty shady. Think we should defederate?

Remember Digg? It's like that except it's mostly bots.
Ah so it's kinda like Digg?
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.
A centralized, proprietary alternative to Lemmy.

Sorry you lost your community. That really sucks.
On the other hand, welcome to a new community!
Iβm just passing along the message. Communicate directly with the person responsible on Mastodon.

FUCK SPEZ (Steve Huffman)
At this point, to me, it's fuck reddit, spez is just a scapegoat that does what the board wants and all other admin happy to comply, he doesn't own it like elon owns twitter
Yep. Some of us remember when it was Fuck Ellen Pao, they seem to like their sacrificial CEOs over there, though I'm sure they get paid too much to be the scapegoat.
That just makes me stop and think about how bad Musk loves being That Guy. The other ones will take the heat and then float away on their golden parachutes, you never really hear from them again. Not him. He keeps making new companies so he can be That Guy at them.

reminder that spez has literally admitted (in a print article) that he foresees himself being a slave owner
Reminder that Reddit is a massive company and they're using spez as fall guy and it's completely working. It's the only reason he has a job still.
oh yeah, but it's also fun to bully the head dweeb who put himself in the position to be the face of this massive company.
He's not exactly the fall guy, he's the co-founder who was on the "victory lap" of steering the ship after the last fall guy (Ellen Pao) took the heat and he steered the ship into another problem before installing another fall guy.
I mean, that is unless we're talking about who is embedded into the company from outside entities. Have a look at Reddit's Director of Policy, who she worked for before and where, and try to post her name or history on Reddit. In my experience, it gets you permanently banned.

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.
Iβm just passing along the message. Communicate directly with the person responsible on Mastodon.
Eventually it was bound to happen. Still sad to see mods getting removed to make way for more Spez friendly replacements
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 β¦..
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?
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

just keeps Digging themselves deeper in the hole.
Thank you for your service. Now watch the place burn. 
Reddit and ~~twitter~~ X, racing to see who can burn their company to ash the quickest.

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.
