Why is Threads built on ActivityPub? Don't think, Mastodon, think Wordpress. Meta's problem across all platforms is how to get good content into their apps while dealing with angry publishers and content moderation. Well imagine you had some sort of protocol that lets content from anywhere across the published web just work in your app, sounds perfect.

I feel like my generation experienced Peak Internet and we’re now on a downward trend.

Google Search sucks. You can’t trust Amazon ratings. Twitter & Reddit are at war with their users. Every useful news site is paywalled and every garbage one is free.

Turns out 2010s were the good old days.

And am i jealous? Fuck yes of course! I worked hard for months on my app and since i don’t have a big following and no contacts at apple my app got almost unnoticed. It’s not very motivating and sometimes i think my app is maybe bad. But! I’m really proud of Kolibri. Come on it’s really cool. Draw, import svg, edit paths etc, animate and then get the #SwiftUI code automatically. And all this on iPhone, iPad and mac. Everything made by me incl icon. It’s far from a perfect app but I’m proud

I refer to this as “stallmanising”

Named after Richard Stallman, stallmanising is to be so obnoxious about your perfectly good and just cause, that you actively turn people against it.

Don’t stallmanise your causes.

Reddit is threatening to remove me and the other moderators of r/shortcuts unless we reopen the community, half of which are the original team at Workflow.

I wanted to take a minute to debunk Reddit's claims, and talk about their unwillingness to work with developers, moderators, and the larger community, as well as say thank you for all the support 💙 https://reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/14dkqrw/i_want_to_debunk_reddits_claims_and_talk_about/

I wanted to address Reddit's continued, provably false statements, as well as answer some questions from the community, and also just say...

I accidentally launched Apollo (and of course was immediately sucked into reddit).

It's such a well made app, damn.
