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

MODERATORS
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?
Who even still uses apple devices in 2023?

Everyone but the oldest sister in the cave next to yours!
Ok that WAS clever
To anyone who is curious what it said something to the effect of:
why not they seem to like the boot already
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.
tbh i think that safetynet and other attestation features are a waste of time and should die.
you do realize in this regard google/Apple are two sides of the same coin right?
I don't think he was drawing a comparison.
Mobile development sucks in general.
What's reddit
Lemmy-like platform. But looks like they haven't implemented ActivityPub yet.
They sound pretty shady. Think we should defederate?
Dam lemmy.world at it again
They also seem to want to replace moderators with AI and even bought a company that does so. Weird, and probably easy to abuse. Wouldn't trust.
I don't know why these platforms think they'll ever take off without even implementing federation. It's 2023!
hola

I think its like Chlamydia but you catch it from sticking your head too far up your ass (hence spez has it the worst)
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.
Reddit and ~~twitter~~ X, racing to see who can burn their company to ash the quickest.
fucking 
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.
Iβm just passing along the message. Communicate directly with the person responsible on Mastodon.
Have you found an alt on lemmy for dnd memes?

I'm new to Lemmy, not sure how to do the fancy link thing. There are a couple other communities too. I'll get to posting there eventually.
Is there a community here for it yet?
Closest thing is !mobiledev@programming.dev currently, I've just reached out to one of the iOSProgramming mods about if they want to set up here
Update: we now have !ios_dev@programming.dev, temporarily managed by me until we get some mods for it
I was looking for a better place to post this.
Yeah this is the best spot atm in the instance, its a catchall community for programming things in the instance. The ios dev community is currently going through the community request process and then this can be crossposted into there
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
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.
It's not Reddit. Thank your government. They have to do what the government says or they end up like back page. I'm not saying your Reddit was bad the government probably told them to pull it. Get use to sensership it's only going to get worse
Doesn't having it private mean it wasn't a community of 150k? It was a community of 1.
I understood taking subs NSFW to keep advertising out, but taking them private was causing the community to die. Once that went beyond a few days it was time to shift platform.
Who are the mods now?
Some attention hungry incompetent wannabes?
