A key milestone of #socialism is when competent craftsman are cancelled so that social justice power rangers can larp at the controls of critical industry. 🪦🪦🪦

The more i read this apple guideline the more I realize it can be used to remove any bitcoin or p2p payment app at any time:

“Apps may enable individual users to give a monetary gift to another individual without using in-app purchase, provided that (a) the gift is a completely optional choice by the giver, and (b) 100% of the funds go to the receiver of the gift. However, a gift that is connected to or associated at any point in time with receiving digital content or services must use in-app purchase.”

Specifically:

“a gift that is *connected to or associated at any point in time* with receiving digital content or services must use in-app purchase”

This means when users start saying “zap me with your email to receive my art”. Then this would give apple an excuse remove Damus at any time, even with only profile zaps. This is true of every p2p payment app as well from what I can tell.

Not to mention: “100% of the funds go to the receiver of the gift”. So what about miner fees? Apple could argue miner tx fees on bitcoin txs violate their guidelines. This also means damus splits + support star are very much not allowed and they won’t be pushed to the app store 🥲

Overall everything is very vague which gives apple the ability to remove your app for any reason. Fun

Oh, I think you misunderstand me: it's a girl and we don't intend to expose her to genderism.

The way we measure these things will change this century.
