Wow. That’s one way to get rid of developers. nostr:note1ens9tc9lkjvpsl335ldls3zyle7yf3y9eg9dq8gdj877nzkh7yhqnqtxgy
Discussion
Idea spread starting from how Twitter did something similar I guess 😔
it's easy to win when you're building on open protocols and the competition is doing everything in their power to destroy themselves
sure is - especially if you're only discussing actual source code, and not permissionless data mining jargoned as "money". because as we all know, that data comes from somewhere, right?! someone somewhere produced it. and "open source" in the context of "funding" crosswords unaware agreement to involuntary data mining. $20 million is a lot of money - and a lot of data.
this is why big names get taken hostage - to "produce and fund". innit...
I remember the days when Reddit was a great site. Seems like so long ago now.
Nothin' lasts forever, bud. 🤷♂️ Corporate interests ruin everything.
💯 I dropped Reddit about 8 years ago 😂
Ya made the right decision. 👍 It's a cesspool just like Twitter, Instagram etc. For years I've been telling people that corporate and government control over society is not a solution to any of societies many issues, it's a symptom of a much larger (and inherently detrimental) problem with human nature.
Me too 😂
I quit when they banned the don. Ain't nobody got time for that
What could possibly be the advantage to such a decision
if only there were a decentralised way of sending nested messages like Reddit does that can't be stopped... 🤔
I just don’t get why platforms are so dumb like this. Dick Costello did the same thing when he restricted twitter clients.
What I think they should do is instead find a way to do a revenue share with Apollo. Find ways that both the apps and the platforms could benefit. Be that donations, subscription revenue, advertising, etc….
Trying to make the clients pay is getting the relationship all wrong. It’s the same thing in some ways to the way meetup decided to charge organizers rather than make tools and ways for organizers to be able to earn money at the same time as the platform, together.
Agree
it's about the intent of the platform. twitter's intent is the heart of its success. all other social media companies have been founded on the premise of data mining and profit. they cannot last in that framing. unless you make a subscription-only social media platform, there's no honest way to run it for profit. and if it's paid, you severely limit use. it's a disposable market. and no one cares much about their real data. most people aren't creators. that's why it won't last.

Plus sensé m'est avis
Merci
damn, i liked apollo :/
Not to mention reddit sucks on mobile with the default app. A lot of Apollo users will probably abandon the platform - me included
it’s time to replace and decentralize reddit anyway.
There is the decentralised Lemmy network that provides Reddit functionality. It federates via ActivityPub protocol, and although many complain about some instances of it, the rules can differ for each hosted instance.
The complaints are not the fault of the technology, but more the moderation policy of each instance owner. Seems all are either too strict or too lenient ;-)
Hate users too, that's why there's such a hard sell on installing thier app, making the web version on mobile as restricted and as poor quality as possible.
Reddit sucks
This is a huge part of why nostr is so important. And once these developers get a taste of real freedom to dream and build whatever they want there’s no going back. It’s just a matter of time.⏰🛠️💻🌎💜
Not a single mention of Nostr in the front page post comments about this asking for Reddit alternatives. https://reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/13x9sy7/now_that_reddit_are_killing_3rd_party_apps_on/
~8000 comments and no mention of nostr anywhere
#[4] #[5] #[6] I know y’all sometimes do outreach via Twitter but Reddit is going to be sloughing off a cohort of its user base soon, zero nostr awareness anywhere as an option, literally zero mentions of the word nostr
I meant https://reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/13x9sy7/now_that_reddit_are_killing_3rd_party_apps_on/ top post on front page right now, zero comments mentioning nostr
Reddit also jumping in the cloud cover provided by Elmo’s twitter by offering insane API pricing to third-party devs. The problem in the case of reddit is that everything good about the platform is third-party. Passionate mods, helpful extensions, great apps… Might be time to jump ship.
Should way to onboard easily as many redditors as possible directly to nostr, for sure many end up twitter, at least first as much easier, by now, to use
This is pretty much how I got here
