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

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.
I’m just passing along the message. Communicate directly with the person responsible on Mastodon.
This is outrageous, it’s unfair!
I dont get why subreddit mods work or worked for free for a company that makes money from what they do ……
Because some of them find value in building a community, because humans are quite social.
Look I get it but some of these people going to work for free are just screwing over everyone else who wants to get paid for their value. Also it leads to corruption in that the mods of places find a way to get paid anyways.
You can make money doing it, you just have to have extremely loose morals.
Probably same reason people go crazy for power, no matter how small of an amount
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
Woah! Sick burn, bro!
We really don’t need this sort of pathetic shit posting.
Fr, that shit should be left on Reddit where the only reason people said it was for upvotes.
Snarky ass comments or just being hateful is 100% gonna drive away users from this platform
lol gottem
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.
there’s a story there that I want to read
There was a time when at least once a month on that “other site”’s android channel that you would see a post about someone getting their account permanently banned. Sometimes it was because they made a spammy app while in high school or college but had turned over a new leaf and were using a new Google account. Sometimes it was a company who had employed someone who had been previously banned but only ever signed into the play console under a company email but probably also signed into their personal mail on the work machine. How true are the claims? I can’t say.
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.

NSOofTbf I’ve found google and apple fairly good to develop for(they handle app signing, deployment and more)
Once you fork over the cash, that is…
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.
I tried to follow an Android tutorial (in Kotlin, so it should have been a modern one) a while ago, and the only conclusion I can come to is it was all designed by 500 different people over 15 years who never spoke to each other, and nobody ever dared throw anything away.
I’ve never seen such a basic CRUD app (and incidentally wasn’t even doing the C, U or D of that) take so many lines of code to do “properly”. Nothing that simple should be that complex. Everything seems geared up for “what if you want to translate to 100 different languages, change the back end at any point, and individually configure forms for these 80 different aspect ratios on devices?” Yeah, what if I don’t?
I still use Delphi for my sins, and while it has its faults (mostly that it’s closed source, and no fucker else uses it so I can’t work anywhere else), but simple apps like that are “drop a few things on a form, add half a dozen lines of code and run it”.
There’s all these places in Android that should be easy, but because you’re going through three levels of XML files and umpteen factory classes, it isn’t.
Eh, no need to bring the iOS/Android fight into this. OP saw an opportunity for a joke and took it. The butt of the joke is iOS because that’s what the sub is about. If it were for android the same joke could be made, though folks would probably make different ones with other more glaring issues that Google has.
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
Who are the mods now?
Some attention hungry incompetent wannabes?
So Spez himself?
tomato tomato
That sucks maybe you can restart your community here
I’m 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
What’s reddit
A centralized, proprietary alternative to Lemmy.
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 marketing tool
Lemmy-like platform. But looks like they haven’t implemented ActivityPub yet.
bxdbx
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!

They sound pretty shady. Think we should defederate?
It’s probably full of ads anyway.
I heard they have some piracy communities, so that’s reason enough for most admin
I also saw a picture of someone with braces there once.
Dam lemmy.world at it again
removed by mod
What did I do to your fediverse mark? I don’t recall having these powers…please explain
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)
Remember Digg? It’s like that except it’s mostly bots.

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.
They don’t “give a shit” about what sub it is, they just have automated things that do this.
Ah that’s explains it. Thank you
Reddit is a failing business it’s going to use every unilateral tactic it can. What are you going to do with that free time?
I’m just passing along the message. Communicate directly with the person responsible on Mastodon.
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?
This is borderline bootlicking. Not sure what he expected? A protest is a protest dude. That line is GOP approved.
This 100%
fucking
Is there a Mastodon alternative?
Smile, you’re already on
Candid Camerait!Mastodon and Lemmy don’t have great interoperability. They use the ActivityPub protocol in ways that are not compatible with each other.
You’re right, they’re pretty different, though you can post from Mastodon to Lemmy I don’t know if you can do the reverse.
As others have said Firefish is a better fit, also Misskey is nice (long live Ai chan!)
There are so many I lost count:
- Pleroma
- Misskey
- Friendica
- Firefish
- Akkoma
And perhaps many more. Heck, even Kbin has microblogging support.
Firefish
Yea, go to another Mastodon instance
This is the way
So say we all.
