What’s reddit
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 | Tanner B 🦕🧁 (@objc@mastodon.social)

Lemmy-like platform. But looks like they haven’t implemented ActivityPub yet.
Sabata11792@kbin.social 1 year ago
They sound pretty shady. Think we should defederate?
DrQuint@lemm.ee 1 year ago
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!

Remember Digg? It’s like that except it’s mostly bots.
PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Ah so it’s kinda like Digg?
GreenMario@lemm.ee 1 year ago
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)

Sorry you lost your community. That really sucks.
On the other hand, welcome to a new community!

I’m just passing along the message. Communicate directly with the person responsible on Mastodon.
Prethoryn@lemmy.world 1 year ago
More Lemmy users need to be like you.
Why are Lemmy users Assholes.
jacktherippah@lemdro.id 1 year ago
Because Lemmy users are also humans and humans are assholes.
Whirlybird@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Why are Lemmy users Assholes.
Because most Lemmy users are ex (or current) reddit users.

Gsus4@feddit.nl 1 year ago
At this point, to me, it’s fuck reddit, spez is just a scapegoat.
jayrodtheoldbod@midwest.social 1 year ago
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.
Mindfury@hexbear.net 1 year ago
reminder that spez has literally admitted (in a print article) that he foresees himself being a slave owner
Ubermeisters@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Reminder that Reddit is a massive company and they’re using spaz as fall guy and it’s completely working. It’s the only reason he has a job still.
vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Ya know as a rabid egalitarian socialist who idolizes John Brown I feel that slavery is universally wrong. So why do I suddenly feel the want to ebslave Spez for about a week?
borth@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
What!? Where? I haven’t heard that one yet
WilliamTheWicked@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.

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.

Have you found an alt on lemmy for dnd memes?
Reckless_Moose@ttrpg.network 1 year ago
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.
nyakojiru@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
I dont get why subreddit mods work or worked for free for a company that makes money from what they do ……
ElHexo@hexbear.net 1 year ago
Because some of them find value in building a community, because humans are quite social.
Dangeresque@infosec.pub 1 year ago
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.
goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
Probably same reason people go crazy for power, no matter how small of an amount
SkepticElliptic@beehaw.org 1 year ago
You can make money doing it, you just have to have extremely loose morals.

Thank you for your service. Now watch the place burn. why-shouldnt-i
JeffCraig@citizensgaming.com 1 year ago
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?
Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
This 100%
ineedaunion@lemm.ee 1 year ago
This is borderline bootlicking. Not sure what he expected? A protest is a protest dude. That line is GOP approved.
sfcl33t@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
Is there a community here for it yet?
Ategon@programming.dev 1 year ago
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
Ategon@programming.dev 1 year ago
Update: we now have !ios_dev@programming.dev, temporarily managed by me until we get some mods for it
ericjmorey@programming.dev 1 year ago
I was looking for a better place to post this.

Reddit and
twitterX, racing to see who can burn their company to ash the quickest.Appointee4912@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
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.
Asymptote@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Reddit took a calculated risk and they probably had a wide margin of error.
reevesnick@programming.dev 1 year ago
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.
Whirlybird@aussie.zone 1 year ago
They don’t “give a shit” about what sub it is, they just have automated things that do this.
reevesnick@programming.dev 1 year ago
Ah that’s explains it. Thank you

Prethoryn@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Lemmy users are fuck heads. Just because you don’t like Apple doesn’t make very dev the bad guy. Fuck off.
ebenixo@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
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?
wewbull@feddit.uk 1 year ago
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.

Did you create a new community on here yet?
aberrate_junior_beatnik@midwest.social 1 year ago
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
Ubermeisters@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Why kick 'em when they’re down already?
aberrate_junior_beatnik@midwest.social 1 year ago
They clearly like the boot, so
samus7070@programming.dev 1 year ago
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.
anon@lemm.ee 1 year ago
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.

fades@beehaw.org 1 year ago
you do realize in this regard google/Apple are two dices of the same coin right?
wewbull@feddit.uk 1 year ago
I don’t think he was drawing a comparison.
Mobile development sucks in general.
Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
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.

Fr, that shit should be left on Reddit where the only reason people said it was for upvotes.
