Today, Reddit forcibly removed me (and everyone else) as mods of /r/iOSProgramming, a subreddit of about 130k users. I was keeping the sub private / NSFW to prevent Reddit from monetizing it with ads.
Update: [email protected] has been created, temporarily managed by @[email protected] until some mods volunteer for it
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
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.
lol gottem
Tbf 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...
NSOofWow, at least my code make money
Woah! Sick burn, bro!
What's reddit
Lemmy-like platform. But looks like they haven't implemented ActivityPub yet.
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

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.
I think its like Chlamydia but you catch it from sticking your head too far up your ass (hence spez has it the worst)
a marketing tool
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.
More Lemmy users need to be like you.
Why are Lemmy users Assholes.
Because Lemmy users are also humans and humans are assholes.
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.

Thank you for your service o7

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.

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 100%
This is borderline bootlicking. Not sure what he expected? A protest is a protest dude. That line is GOP approved.
I dont get why subreddit mods work or worked for free for a company that makes money from what they do β¦..
Probably same reason people go crazy for power, no matter how small of an amount
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
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.
Is there a Mastodon alternative?
Firefish
There are so many I lost count:
- Pleroma
- Misskey
- Friendica
- Firefish
- Akkoma
And perhaps many more. Heck, even Kbin has microblogging support.
That sucks maybe you can restart your community here

They sound pretty shady...
You did well, thanks for sticking to it until the end.

This is outrageous, it's unfair!
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.
Lemmy users are fuck heads. Just because you don't like Apple doesn't make every dev the bad guy. Fuck off.
I think you might be a little confused friend.
So ahhh... Lost Lemmer?
