Update: !ios_dev@programming.dev has been created, temporarily managed by @Ategon@programming.dev 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
[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?

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.
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
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.

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.

just keeps Digging themselves deeper in the hole.
Thank you for your service. Now watch the place burn.
I dont get why subreddit mods work or worked for free for a company that makes money from what they do …..
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.
Probably same reason people go crazy for power, no matter how small of an amount
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
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
Reddit and
twitterX, racing to see who can burn their company to ash the quickest.Let's be real... as long as people act like brainless animals, there will be zoos they enjoy being in. Reddit lost nothing, sooner than later more and more people will more and more give in and everything will go back to how reddit was. The number of people who care is miniscule.
Reddit took a calculated risk and they probably allowed for a wide margin of error.
IMO Reddit's risk is paying off. Lemmy isn't a replacement and tons of people are still using it daily.
I wouldn't even call it "calculated"... they calculated nothing... they can always rely on the puppies going back and drooling all over reddit.

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.
