    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.

    Just a reminder that folks are encouraged to review the rules in the sidebar. It’s okay to disagree, but please keep it civil (rule 8). Thanks!

      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!

      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

          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… 😅

    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.

    I think this is a click bail title. I’m pretty sure it was antisemitic.

      From what I’ve read recently, any criticism of the state of Israel is antisemetic now and the Jews Bernie Sanders and Jon Steward are apparently the biggest antisemites of all.

        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 and are simply evil.

          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.
