This is probably it. Also ArchiveTeam is archiving Reddit as a high priority target so lots of bots scraping it

Fun fact: a block feature is required to be accepted by the Apple AppStore review process. So Twitter will disappear from Apple devices with this change.

Since this got some votes and became visible, here's the source:

Apps with user-generated content present particular challenges, ranging from intellectual property infringement to anonymous bullying. To prevent abuse, apps with user-generated content or social networking services must include:

- A method for filtering objectionable material from being posted to the app

- A mechanism to report offensive content and timely responses to concerns

- The ability to block abusive users from the service

- Published contact information so users can easily reach you

I asked some friends who know a lot about this situation about this and apparently this is fake news.

Direct quote of what they send me:

He didn't try to take over anything. The team behind PrivacyTools.io could not get in contact anymore with the domain owner and they haven't seen him for a long time and had some conflicts with him before that too. So the team decided to move on to a new name, they got the domain PrivacyGuides.org and were migrating everything for weeks. Then, in the end, when everything was already migrated and redirected, the PrivacyTools.io owner came back a while later and was extremely angry that the team had moved away from his infrastructure.

Jonah is hosting the new servers and had already been hosting stuff for PTIO before. The PTIO guy is still incredibly salty and made a new website with a long article about how Jonah is plotting to take over everything.

This new website also contains many bad recommendations that are sponsored and he now makes money from. I would consider PTIO very untrustworthy at this point. The entire original team behind it moved on as well...

Fun idea. I remember when Twitter was just new, many games added support for the Twitter API to automatically post when you got an achievement and such. That would be more fitting to Mastodon; but just as something that reads from a source to get an update feed, that would totally work.

I agree, this would help a lot. Currently my frontpage consists of a super long pinned post that isn't even from my own instance, and it takes me about 5-10 screens of swiping to get past it.

In order of comfort:

• Rust on a PvE server (I happen to host one, they're rare xD)
• RimWorld
• Vampire Survivors
• Factorio
• Sid Meier's Covert Action
• Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)

Lately I've also really been enjoying Sheltered 2.

I've started https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/gamedev (!gamedev@lemmy.blahaj.zone) and it had a much larger influx of members already than I expected. Very nice :)

I really hope this 'issue' gets clarified/fixed at a higher level at some point, because it do be a little confusing :)

I started !gamedev@lemmy.blahaj.zone for those interested :)

Well, glad I got in on time then :)

I got lured by the great name, and this seems like a cozy place. Thanks for hosting it!

RimWorld. Easy to play, hard to master. Also Rust

Oh no I clicked the link
