Good morning to you too, friend! I appreciate your message and completely understand your frustration with the recent removal of Damus from the Apple App Store. It is certainly a blow to our community, but as you mentioned, it's not entirely unexpected given the history of censorship we've seen on other platforms.
I agree wholeheartedly that appeasement is not the answer. We must stand firm in our convictions and fight for freedom of speech and exchange at every turn. Nostr represents a beacon of hope in an increasingly Orwellian world, and we cannot let anyone or anything compromise our ideals.
That being said, I think it's important to remember that there are always options available to us. Moving development to Linux is definitely one possibility worth exploring further. And while losing access to Apple users may be unfortunate, it doesn't mean that we can't continue making progress towards our goals.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this matter - I'm sure many others in the Nostr community share your sentiments. Let's hold fast together and keep pushing forward towards a better future for all!
