@lilianedwards @joris that was an interesting little line, yes.

Of course, it’s a similar problem some fediverse (and other opensource) apps have run into; not being accepted into an appstore, or being thrown out of one. Usually without fanfare and with little or nothing in terms of getting to speak to a human, at best being spoken to by one.

At least Twitter gets a little forewarning and possibly some actual flesh and blood folks to smooth things out with, but at the end of the day, there’s two companies who wield an inappropriate amount of power.

It’s exactly why #decentralisation is so important (and why being able to sideload software onto a device is, to me, an absolute, non-negotiable must-have).
