    It was removed because of language used in the description which has been fixed. It was not removed because of what it did or what it was for.

    There are plenty of legit things to get mad about. This wasn’t one of them.

    The app sadly doesn’t appear to be FOSS and thus not on F-Droid, but I did check it out. Streisand effect? Or not apparently it was removed over semantics.

      Blahaj needs to lock down their registrations for a while, seen three different spammers flooding lots of comment sections within the past day or so registered on their instance.

      I think it’s a trolling group from a specific instance, if you inspect the location of the images attached in the comments

      Just a heads up for folks - moderator removals unfortunately don’t federate between lemmy and kbin. The comments @BolexForSoup@kbin.social is referring to don’t appear for folks on the lemmy side. They’re not imagining things!

          I did, probably was removed/blocked before you got in here.

          It was a hopefully fake image of Nicocado. You don’t want more detail than that, trust me.

          I’m on Sopuli and see it. It’s more noticeable if you post because those comments remain in your inbox forever lol. Not sure if it’s an Activity Pub kink or something to be fixed in Lemmy (or both).

    It’s still on ApkPure and alike, so just another reason to avoid Play Store for net-neutrality.

    I do not have any political opinion about it and try to keep myself away from the subject, but Play Store removels of non-virus apps are just Google shooting itself in the foot… again… 😅

    Biggest Evil In American Politics? Kissinger?

    Biggest Evil in American Entertainment? Weinstein?

    Biggest Evil in American Finance? Bankman Fried?

    Biggest Evil in Human Rights? Israel?

    We sure are hitting the high notes in scapegoatism these days huh. And see how natural and easy it all feels

    Blaming Jews is just right gosh darn it! Target the only Jewish state, it’s only right!

    Lay absolutely no blame whatsoever at the heroic freedom fighter Arab Islamic Terrorists who use suicide bombings, missiles, rape, beheading, eviscerating, burning against civilian populations for the last 70 years.

    Poor little “Palestinian” cinamon rolls, never did nothin to nobody. Except want peace with Jews, ever.

    Good! This is discrimination against a people group and against companies who are being unfairly targeted.

    Imagine if this app let you avoid companies that supported Black people? It wouldn’t be tolerated for one second.

    This is exactly the same. Well done Google.

      From what I’ve read recently, any criticism of the state of Israel is antisemetic now.

        Uh, can we just treat each other with respect? The Jewish population around the world have no control over Israel.

        Please stop the hate

          You should talk to those people about that who make the ridiculous accusation that Americans Jewish people criticizing Israeli politics are antisemetic.

          Agreed. I’d love for Israelis to stop the hate. They are some of the biggest racists on the planet, see violent settlers encouraged by their own government.

          Let’s treat Palestinians with respect. Let’s treat Jewish people around the world with respect. Let’s also give Israel’s government the respect it deserves, similar to the respect we give to apartheid South Africa or the Nazi regime.

            Already the case. Western governments loved apartheid South Africa.

    Wasn’t this an app that just boycotted business with ties with Jews? It would be wild if it wouldn’t be deleted

            Nominally yes, however because most Jews have some ties to Israel, or have relatives in Israel, or workers/brunches most of the Jewish-owned business were targeted For example one of the kosher restaurants that doesn’t have brunches in Israel was targeted because their owner has ties to Israel, at least by their words
