"He added that he plans to make changes to moderator policies so users can vote them out. Currently, a higher-ranking moderator — or the company — can boot out moderators. Incidentally, a r/Apple moderator posted on Twitter (via 9to5Mac) that Reddit was threatening to remove moderators who are staging an indefinite blackout."

For me this is a tricky situation. I really love building Software with SwiftUI but the Apple bubble tends to stick to Twitter and Reddit.

Currently there is not enough critical mass of Swift developers migrating here. A lot of them are on Mastodon, but chats and blogs are super crappy when asking for help (looking at you, Discord!).

I really hope this will change because right now both my projects are on halt because I'm not getting anywhere on Mastodon and I still do my personal Reddit blackout.

Why can't you finish your projects without Reddit? Not being able to ask for help with your projects might be suck, but it can also be a rewarding experience. For the next few weeks, just try imagine yourself as a COBOL programmer from the past trying to finish a project with nothing but offline manual and no internet connections, or kidnapped Swift developer forced to finish an app in Gulag without access to social media. Who know, maybe you'll emerge as a different man at the end of the experience.
