For those that don't know Alt.Store is an alternative App Store. The EU is forcing Apple and Google to allow alternate stores. These got some funds, like a lot, to build an open store. Alt Store is it. I'm going to be talking with them on Fireside Fedi next week if anyone wants to learn more! https://firesidefedi.live/ or https://tubefree.org/@firesidefedi or !firesidefedi@tubefree.org

They've build Fediverse INTO their App Store, so ANYONE running the app store will be connected to the Fediverse.

Others have done this as well. Basically a trojan horse of freedom and openness being added to all kinds of projects atm. :D

Great...How can we install it on non-EU regions? I know someone that might be interested on iOS.

Apparently it's an iOS appstore

Sounds very nice but can anyone explain me the point to it?

[–] artyom@piefed.social 3 points 3 days ago

What does this mean? This is like the third time they've "joined the Fediverse".

I wish them the best of luck.
