Not surprising. That Apple would eventually nag about zapping crossed my mind immediately, given that their hand must be in every cookie jar.

While hitting bitcoiners, I can’t help but wonder if this is actually good for onboarding to Nostr in general, as it removes one non-essential element for Apple users to participate fully in the Damus app experience. Not everyone is a bitcoin enthusiast, obviously. Apple’s predictable greed could have an upside.

Nostr is the best platform out there by far. Growth is important, and while this battle has been lost, the war is far from over.
