9 months agoI’m happy with this. I feel like Lemmy is an oasis of nerds in a social media world of toxic people obsessed with all the wrong things.
I have had an app on the play store, it’s a bitch for indie devs. Just today I had to update my account info after there was a notification that google would delete my account for not being active. If I hadn’t logged in over a 2 month period I would’ve lost a developer account I paid for just so I can publish free apps. I assume the App store is even worse.
One thing that courts and antitrust lawyers won’t understand is that these “stores” have annihilated the free market for phone apps. Market entry for phones is just too hard because you need to be an actual for profit business for any of the hassle to be worth it.
