Same thing that happened with Gab, some clients will implement a clientside block and some won't. IMO it's pointless to do a clientside block, I guess you could work around it by making a DNS redirection or something.

It is so that my client is not banned from appstore, I don't think apple is going to say

haha we set up a DNS redirection and bypassed your blocking so bann

Imagined if we lived in a world where Apple could tell Mozilla or Google that their web browser was delisted from the App Store because they don't blacklist some domain name.

I know where you're coming from and I understand why, it's just that blocking specific hostnames from an app that is simply handling a protocol seems an overreach.

See the thing is is that apple reviewers know how a web browser works (probably) but the fed? not so sure. To them it's probably just a twitter clone.
