There’s already some big communities. I abandoned my PS5 magazine after finding a much bigger one

Mark Zuckerberg summarised this phenomenon really well:

They trust me…dumb fucks

At a similar time as The Verge was threatened I noticed some articles changed their tune and switched to downplaying the Reddit situation. The one I recall is Gizmodo reporting that Reddit traffic was back to normal.

It’ll be interesting to see how things play out at the end of this week when the 3rd Party Apps go offline, but to be honest I’m happy to say my new home is Kbin.social and don’t see the need for an active Reddit account, though I may lurk from time to time if I’m looking for some particular information that’s not yet on Kbin.

The game changer for Fediverse is stable mobile applications, once the Apollo shaped hole on my phone is filled I think it’ll be pretty much a drop-in replacement.

Catchiest: Adventure Time
Memorable: Game of Thrones (are /r/freefolk here yet?)
Favourite: Futurama - watched every single one for the different slogans and classic cartoon clips

Nope, no need for open-source. If it was so easy to make an iOS app we’d have one available on the App Store already. There’s works in progress and TestFlight releases just to cater for the increasing demand but even those will take time to reach full maturity and polish.

There’s no reason for someone to work so hard and give away their IP for free. From what you see from many apps, the authors are continuously working hard to work on it, adding new features, fixing bugs and with it being still the relatively early days of the Fediverse, keeping up and reflecting changes on the platform.

App developers should be free to decide how they protect their IP and how they market their product. I gladly paid for Apollo and would be more than happy to pay for my preferred Fedi app to support the effort behind it.

A better approach would be for the Kbin/Lemmy project to open-source an SDK for iOS
