Update: !ios_dev@programming.dev has been created, temporarily managed by @Ategon@programming.dev until some mods volunteer for it

        They also seem to want to replace moderators with AI and even bought a company that does so. Weird, and probably easy to abuse. Wouldn’t trust.

      It’s a website where bots talk to each other and posts links from all over the internet in order to scam corporations out of ad revenue.
