@ekaitz_zarraga @snikket_im Indeed, not taking a dump on what Snikket are doing at all (I boosted their status here and, via the automatic forward, on the hellsite). More power to them. I was just talking about my personal opinion.
Apple have left us in limbo for over a year and won’t help us move our account from the old org to the new one so we cannot release updates, etc., and I’ve about had it with them.

Familiar with :apple_inc: Swift, UIKit, and know your way around XCode? Want to help advance the state of #XMPP on #iOS? :xmpp: 📱 We're looking for developers to help bring our iOS app over the finish line! 🏁
This will be a paid short-term project producing FLOSS. DM or email matthew@snikket.org if you're interested.
Not an iOS dev? That's okay, boosts appreciated too! 🙂

@ekaitz_zarraga @snikket_im Thanks, Ekaitz, but I don’t see myself doing any future work on Apple’s platforms unless it is to create a native client for a small web site at some point… which isn’t really necessary. Basically, I look forward to the day that we don’t need to ask Apple’s permission for anything or rely on them to any degree to be able to pay the rent.

@ekaitz_zarraga @snikket_im It’s a horrible thing to have even a part of your livelihood tied to the whims of a faceless multi-trillion dollar corporation. They can destroy you without thinking (or even noticing, not even any malice required). I wouldn’t wish it on my enemy :)

@aral @ekaitz_zarraga Would totally agree with you, but sorry, can't right now. It might jeopardize the chances of our app being approved if someone from <multi-trillion dollar corporation> saw our criticism 🤫
A joke so true it's not funny...
