Strategy…

nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s let’s the app get removed (temporarily)…. What happens?

1. Everyone who is on the app stays. We already downloaded it.

2. Headlines read Apple Removes Damus. Free Advertising l

3. More people weigh in on the topic.

4. Free publicity.

5. App Store Policy becomes more polarized negatively in the eyes of the normies.

The fact is we have no lawyers, no funds to fight this. But the headlines is where our power is pushed.

Short term it would effect new Damus onboarding temporarily… that’s it.

That didn't work for Epic, a $30+ billion company.

😂

At the very least wait till day 14.

Wasn’t that a lawsuit?

I honestly don't remember the details besides Epic / Fortnite was kicked off the app store because they circumvented in app purchases by making users go online to buy them. Apple wanted their 30% from the most lucrative game at the time.

Steve rolling in his grave..i miss that guy.

Steve would have been all about NFTs.

Tim don't remove that remote butt plug app from the 🍎 store!

wtf lol

Should write a Kali tool and hack these things. ⚡🚨😂

Link?

don't worry about it tatum. i don't have an iphone so i can't control yours from here.

Is this the app that finally breaks Derek’s allegiance?

Sure! Can buy them on Amazon for $119. Yes you can have your butthole owned from around the world. You know... like real life politics 🦄

And some three letter agency can see watch the look on your face in the App.

I know what you’re thinking Tatum…remote control vibrating open dimes.

In 2017 there was also a dispute between apple and WeChat about tipping in app. They reached some sort of “settlement” but I don’t think the details were ever made public.

CCP resolved it lol

I understand what you’re saying, but past experience tells me we should not fall for the martyr culture trap.

Just my 2 sats

Not a bad strategy actually. In this case we are the ‘little guy’. Another option could be ask Apple for nuances:

1. If Damus did say 30% of zaps did go to Apple but in that case, Apple would be paid in sats and would need to have LN acct as Damus is not in business of selling sats. Eg if you ask a squirrel 30% of what he got, it will give you nuts as it’s not in business of selling them

2. Ask how Apple treats Reddit flairs, badges and moons each time they are given out. This do have monetary value and similar to people giving each other those.

Either we get Apple and the courts to confirm Lightning is a viable payment method (by us losing), or we accept their terms and pay them in sats, which would require them to create a wallet, infrastructure, etc..

Nah, advertisement was already done 😉

Build around the guard rails. That's what we do.
