Thing is, if they kill the App Store entirely, they also fuck over Russians that already have iPhones and are fleeing the country, and or dissenting the government.
Looks like they’re trying to leave as much of the App Store as available as possible. That said, at some point the government censorship will become so bad that they might need to pull the plug entirely.
And that said, if they allowed proper side loading, this wouldn’t be an issue. They could just peace out entirely.
The real answer is to let people load apps from outside of the App Store.
If you’re going to run an AppStore, you’re going to be subject to the laws of every country, and you’ll have to segment it by region.
Thanks!
Sorry, long day and I’m pretty tired. I mistook “comm” as communications, not community.
A couple of thoughts on the timeliness critique.
One of the big reasons that the removals, reports and comms take forever is because the mod tools are trash. People simply don’t see the notifications until they log in to the web app and look in the header.
Another reason that stuff takes forever is because people don’t volunteer to mod. Lemmy world videos has had requests for moderators out for weeks. Next to know one wants to volunteer their time to help the community.
If we want fast moderation, we need more eyes. Especially since Lemmy doesn’t really do a great job of sending notifications.
Camera bumps are getting so silly now.
Apparently those Bieber bangs made it all the way to Russia a decade ago.

People talk about Biden all the damn time when Trump’s court corruption comes up. If I had a dollar for every time I saw a thread about Biden changing the court via packing or using the “official act” ruling, I’d be a rich man.
People aren’t getting grumpy at you because you’re bringing up Biden, they’re getting grumpy because you want to start talking about Gaza in court corruption comment thread.
Lemmy’s got noooo shortage of Gaza articles with comments that shit on the current president’s policies. And yes, since this is an election year, they also talk about his opponent’s policies in the region. That guy is winning in the polls and has policies that would be even worse for civilian deaths in that area. Those of us that care about saving civilian lives want to reduce military aid, not double down.
Paying a pornstar? Now that is just unacceptable!
That person wasn’t complaining about the hush money, they were complaining about a corrupt court system, that bends the law in extreme ways, to let their appointer commit crimes without consequences.

[Bolivia] has seen about 190 coups, as well as military dictatorships and revolutions, since it gained independence in 1825.
Jesus Christ. That country fucking loves coups.
What if it’s just a 20oz cup of deli mustard from the condiment bar?
What in the terrible photoshop I looking at.
Why is there two gigantic rolls on the ground?
Lol. True. Although I always think she lands in bed like a model from PvP Halo 3.
Apple pulled out of the country after the invasion of Ukraine, but they left the AppStore up for people with existing hardware. Since they have a walled garden, if they kill the AppStore, they would also be killing access to things that Russian dissenters and refugees would need access to.
