Nostr is about censorship resistance,

If you're on a platform that violates your ability to use Nostr freely, you are not only supporting that sort of top down control, you are saying it's okay.

iphone users are normalizing this practice, even bitcoiners & it's abhorrently weak.

Vote with your feet/wallet/usership, or cry harder.

This reminds me of the exact situation Coldcard put us in.

Should we just eat the statism like a good girl with no gag reflex?,

Or should we vote with our feet/wallet?

People made decisions, but the truth is you have this tradeoff everywhere & around every corner.

I just hate that people are crying, you're a couple thousand users with little funds, you're not going to fight this without a law firm who wants to pick up your cause by sheer altruism.

Apple’s monopoly around the App Store needs to end. Most apps are trash and require in app purchases and still have ads!

If iOS is a majority in the states, then it should be forced to allow side loading.

Buying an iphone is voluntary.

They haven't a monopoly on smartphones.

We'll lose this case everytime.

I understand that.

Let us be adults and download apps that aren’t in the App Store.

I can download any app on Mac so what exactly is their excuse except for being greedy and hindering innovation.

Just look at their segmented financial statements,

Computers are a dying biz for them, and require that level of flexibility to have any users at all.

Meanwhile their smartphone business is stable,

With their fasting growing biz being app store & apple services such as news, music, tv.

They're protecting their shareholders, not their fringe userbase who cares.

Yeah your probably correct.

Sadly 😪

Maybe someday it will change. 🫂

It will, but it'll be a force majeure
