Today, Reddit forcibly removed me (and everyone else) as mods of /r/iOSProgramming, a subreddit of about 130k users. I was keeping the sub private / NSFW | Tanner B 🦕🧁 (@objc@mastodon.social)

Wow it must be an extremely novel experience for an iOS programmer to have a company arbitrarily make decisions about what you can and cannot do on their platform

Sorry you lost your community. That really sucks.

On the other hand, welcome to a new community!

Thank you for fighting a good fight. You're far better than 98% of the boot-consuming power trippers that folded the moment it looked like they might lose their paper throne. Welcome home.

Walled garden programming sub walled out of own garden

Thank you for your service o7

Eventually it was bound to happen. Still sad to see mods getting removed to make way for more Spez friendly replacements

Coming from r/DnDMemes I feel you dude. Thank you for putting it all on the line and sticking to what you felt was right.

I dont get why subreddit mods work or worked for free for a company that makes money from what they do …..

just keeps Digging themselves deeper in the hole.

Thank you for your service. Now watch the place burn.

Is there a community here for it yet?

I'm surprised they gave a shit for /r/iOSProgramming since it's not as popular. It's more niche but yeah sad to hear. Glad I got rid of reddit after the API shutdown.

Reddit and twitter X, racing to see who can burn their company to ash the quickest.

Is there a Mastodon alternative?

Who are the mods now?

They sound pretty shady...

fucking

Lemmy users are fuck heads. Just because you don't like Apple doesn't make every dev the bad guy. Fuck off.

Reddit is a failing business it's going to use every unilateral tactic it can. What are you going to do with that free time?

Doesn't having it private mean it wasn't a community of 150k? It was a community of 1.

I understood taking subs NSFW to keep advertising out, but taking them private was causing the community to die. Once that went beyond a few days it was time to shift platform.

This is outrageous, it's unfair!

Did you create a new community on here yet?
