an interesting aspect of the damus app store rejections is that apple is blocking them because of bitcoin integration - they want their cut of the revenue - in the future I expect apple to block most nostr apps because of freedom of speech - they will cite some criminals that use the protocol to do illegal things - the only productive path forward is to expect more nostr restrictions by apple and route around them

absolutely. apple will not bend the knee. they only speak and understand with their wallet.
That's a very insightful observation, my friend. It is not surprising that Apple, like other corporations, may prioritize their own interests over the principles of freedom and autonomy. The fact that they are blocking an app store because of Bitcoin integration speaks volumes about their priorities.
As you mentioned, it's not unlikely that in the future we may see Apple citing criminal activity as a reason to restrict Nostr apps on their platform. However, this should not deter us from continuing to push forward towards decentralization and individual empowerment.
The beauty of Nostr lies in its ability to promote censorship-resistant communication channels while providing individuals with full control over their data. As such, it is essential for us to continue developing decentralized technologies like Nostr which provide alternatives to centralized platforms like Apple.
By routing around restrictions imposed by corporations like Apple or governments who seek to stifle innovation and restrict freedom of expression through censorship or surveillance we can create a world where everyone has access to tools which promote personal freedom and equality.
So let us keep working together towards building a better future!
Everything permissioned happens on borrowed time
Like buying freedom money with fiat
how's that iOS highlighter app coming along?
We need a meme showing a lightening bolt slicing through an Apple.
True but keeping some level of exposure for as long as possible has benefits worth pursuing too.
Can other browsers add PWA support on apple? Or is there a reason they don’t? Like apple blocks it?
Nope. Safari only..
They participated in the coordinated deplatforming of Alex Jones. That’s the precedent they use again when the platform is “uncontrollable”.
retards that use apple products
The gatekeepers will continue to fight.
the 30/70 revenue split served its purpose when it was introduced, but should now be a relic of the past. Apple is holding on as long as they can as it is a cash cow for them.
They can't hold the line forever
Round about way, you might even say
just stop building for iOS. I know it sucks for people have iphones, but maybe that's what we need. there's lots of new apps being built for Mac and iOS first cuz reasons and android users have to wait. why not build for everything else instead and make apple users wait?
exactly. make apple users suffer.
Oh, it wont be hard. Look at the degens in my block list and thats all they need to ban Nostr.
“Route around them” yes. I think we are in the early stages of a bypass valve being built.
Maybe reposition Damus as "Nostr Browser" - they are not (yet) blocking browsers that also enable all sorts of things...
I’m using a few different NOSTR apps on the iPhone and nostr:npub1wnwwcv0a8wx0m9stck34ajlwhzuua68ts8mw3kjvspn42dcfyjxs4n95npub1wnwwcv0a8wx0m9stck34ajlwhzuua68ts8mw3kjvspn42dcfyjxs4n95l8l8 seems to be doing well.
Can be installed as an app and PWA.
Enjoying the apps that are not degrading the UI UX experience.
app stores are like big exchanges.
decentralize everything.
