Re. censorship, other platforms, and linked notes from Coracle social - I did a brief experiment where I shared a link to a Coracle post with a family member (Android, default Messaging application), no problem. Also tried the same thing using Signal, no problem. But when I tried to share the same link with a friend who had an Apple / iPhone (who is not yet set up with Nostr or Coracle or anything like that), he couldn't receive the message (it was not received on his phone even when it was confirmed as sent by mine) and when I tried a different method - I tried sending him a short version of the link using maglit (maglit.me) that was also not received by him. In summary, it was clear that Apple was engaging in some form of censorship of Coracle Social posts / notes (as well as other forms of attempts to share such information in short form through open source link shorteners). This might come as no surprise to some but I found it interesting that there was an obvious sort of censorship with respect to content utilized by Apple. The orientation of developers to lean into browser based development (e.g. Mutiny wallet or similar) is therefore not surprising given the sort of issues over time that people have experienced in not only app stores but also, it seems, active filtering (censorship) of certain kinds of content from specific sources.
