Crowdbucks sounds interesting, but is extremely light on details. How does it work? Are all payments going to go through Stripe? Is it going to support GnuTaler? Crypto maybe? Is it to be integrated into things like Mastodon, Peertube, and other fediverse services?

The dev told me this in Mastodon:

@asudox @crowdbucks

I am learning the Taler Protocol right now — so that I can understand how Taler can be added to CrowdBucks.

So, yes, we are looking at making CrowdBucks work with Taler.

Interesting. I run a Threadiverse client on iOS and Android. I haven’t run into any issues with Google, yet.

Apple has this rule I had to comply with:

You must be able to delete your account from the app
Lemmy delete account via the API requires password entry, even if you’re already logged in
Apple however, claims password entry is too much friction for the user to delete their account
A workaround is to link out to Lemmy website to delete your account. Even if you have to enter your password on the website, in Apple’s mind, this is somehow allowed despite being more friction?

I get the sense Apple wrote these rules to improve user experience, and they’re applied without anyone really considering what effect they’re having on the UX.
