I don’t think that’ll be helpful (other than the obvious warm fuzzy feelings). This is one of those times to work the bureaucracy to find a way around.
Nostr, we are a big community, what’s happening with nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 and nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s is definitely not fair, I don’t care about the legalities(and we should even contest those).
I don’t believe I’m saying this but let’s open our Twitter app one more time. And let’s post a giant #FuckApple from the entire nostr community. Let’s catch some eyeballs. Lets let apple know we exist? Let’s do whatever we can?

Please tag any “influencers” on nostr and let’s make this happen? What do you think fam? We have 14 days.
Please repost if you think we should do this. Or if you have any other ideas?

Precisely! 🐶🐾🫡
Yeah, this would be an exercise in futility
I thought it’d be a great opportunity for o teach people about zaps and explain the position that damus doesn’t even do zaps but okay let’s do nothing 🤷♂️
Still can do that, just don’t give Apple any publicity. They don’t deserve free advertising that you will provide for them by just mentioning the name. 🐶🐾🫡
How do we highlight an issue without even mentioning the entity that’s causing it
No point talking about the issue. Get more people on Damus, let them get hooked, let them decide for themselves. If Apple pulls the rug from under 100M loyal app users, imagine the uproar that it will cause. 🐶🐾🫡
How do you get more people on damus when they don’t even let damus exist 🤦♂️
That’s something we need to figure out, by maybe temporarily removing zaps. Nostr is not all about zaps, it’s about freedom of speech 🐶🐾🫡
I do not like where this going.
Zaps and speech are not the same. I don’t like it but this is the cards we are dealt. IANAL 🐶🐾🫡
Zaps are the usp of nostr. Not doing something against this attack just cripples your app. Would you even use damus if you knew you could send and receive zaps on snort?
I did when it just started 🐶🐾🫡
Then other clients didn’t have zaps either, other clients will implement it, this is bad for damus either ways. You’re suggesting that damus should just do whatever apple tells it to do. Doesn’t sound very censorship resistant.
I am not. Don’t jump to conclusions on my behalf please. I am thinking like everyone else, not making any decisions or suggestions 🐶🐾🫡
Sorry for jumping to conclusions, I’m riled up, i just don’t see anything else that we can do.
Neither do I 🐶🐾🤷♂️
I meant apart from the course of action that I am suggesting 😂 that’s always doable
Let’s just keep calm and a level head at this time. There are some great and amazing minds here on Nostr, very intelligent people that know more than we ever will about this, let’s allow them to take the lead.
I wonder if tech press/ slightly wider press picks up something like this. In a way it's good press if it does get out there and people will find a way to join (getting the app before it gets taken down, using web clients, news would also reach Android users etc etc).
Elon is such a contrarian that it might even interest him (somewhat unlikely, as it's a twitter alt, but you never know). Also I'm not pinning any hope on Elon, just to be clear, I just mean in terms of reach and implications that might affect his plans it's not out of the realms of possibility he would mention it).
I'm being uncharacteristically optimistic lol
