Why anyone would develop apps for Apple/Google duopoly is beyond me. Right, I get that you may need the money - but if your livelihood depends on money earned from making this world a worser place perhaps it is time to gut check and de

Please keep on hacking; doing what you are doing and never stop or be intimidated - you are an inspiration to other hackers who also have viewpoints not accepted by the mainstream.

Why was Andrew Torba's comment (on this thread) - the CEO of Gab and subject of this discussion - downvoted and already censored ('dead') ? Absurd. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DooMz4QV4AEEuv4.jpg:large

Nobody really uses the internet, most of the traffic you speak of is just usenet boards and people pirating books. The internet isn't very useful especially when you can get all the information you need at the library. Nobody really

So you're saying a technology that has spawned a new market doing volume to the tune of $500 million per day is 'not very useful'? I disagree. Anyway, a lot of the complexity in this space is indeed over-engineering and me-

To each their own; ignorance is bliss I suppose. Me, I prefer my steaks rare and my information uncensored. We can co-exist of course; I respect your preference for well done and filtered content.

Good point. I wonder if Apple will/has banned their app too? They did that to Gab. Just goes to show if you are doing anything remotely controversial do not build in Apple's ecosystem and most definitely do not invest in developm
