Damus will be removed from the app store in 14 days, apple says zaps are not allowed on their platform because they *could* be used by content creators to sell digital content. This is right before I’m about to give my talk at the oslo freedom forum on how decentralized social networks with lightning integration are bringing financial freedom to the masses... pretty sus… 😕

This would be a watershed moment: If people can’t transact freely p2p on their platform, this has huge implications for the entire ecosystem of apps with lightning integration and v4v.

nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s This seems to have been triggered (perhaps just coincidence) by the OnlyZaps feature. Do you believe that is the feature they are asking to be removed or do you think they are asking for you to remove the entire ability to Zap.

I have no idea. They seem to be implying the tip (zap) feature in general is unacceptable

Please talk it through with them Will.

They seem to specify where tips are connected to receiving digital content.

But I don’t really follow that, because you already received the content and all the content here is open source!

There are no paywalls anywhere in Damus.

So the zap and the receiving of content not really connected?

Logic and reason is never involved in app the review process. Apparently this happening between app reviews is pretty rare as far as I am told.

The content is already available before you can zap it

Exactly, nothing is paywalled so I’m not sure how zaps are connected to receiving any content?

All content is available to everyone all the time, irrespective of any zaps.
