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

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.
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.
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.
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.
Walled garden programming sub walled out of own garden
How's your linux phone doing?
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 !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
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.
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.
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.
That sucks maybe you can restart your community here
Who are the mods now?
Some attention hungry incompetent wannabes?
Is there a Mastodon alternative?
Yea, go to another Mastodon instance
