Damus #zaps were forced to be removed by Apple on June 26, 2023.

Today is May 25, 2023.

We’ve waited 699 days for this mistake to be fixed. In the meantime, we’ve found workarounds, and builders have kept building.

This is a prime example of how large companies wield immense power to crush innovation that threatens them, and how, even against those odds, it still makes sense to look them in the eye and say GFY.

Congrats to the Damus team. The way Apple has damaged your project, and Nostr by extension, is something we shouldn’t forget.

Apple has become a massive drag on software publishers. Not only do they extort an exorbitant tax on app revenues, but they dictate which features can exist. Google has nearly the same amount of power, but they are not wielding it as aggressively (yet).
