NoThanks was temporarily suspended from the Google Play app store due to a line in its description speaking about Israel.

    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.

      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.

            There’s also cat pic illusion meme made out of that. That’s how I know.

          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).

    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.

            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

    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… 😅

            Bro one is purposefully targeting and executing civilians and the other just barely gives a fuck but targets militarily relevant targets.

            There is still one having moral high ground and thats Israel.

            And Israel literally agreed to a ceasefire wich Hamas broke not long after…

              Israel doesn’t bomb military relevant targets, unless you count every single building in Gaza as “Militarily relevant”.

              The lie of “Israel defending themselves” has also worn thin after it was revealed that Netanyahu was both supporting Hamas, and had copies of their full plans over two years ago.

              He even diverted troops from Gaza to aid in the ethnic cleansing over in the West Bank.

                  So you don’t care about brown people dying to fuel Netanyahu’s love of ethnic cleansing?

                  Are you one of those jackasses who believe that the Jews have to control the holy land so that Jesus can come back and send them all to hell?

                  Those fucks seem to care about innocent deaths as much as you seem to…

                If thats your perspective ok, but it won’t be mine. For me its like “i murder 200 but 150 are murderers and you kill 100 innocents”.

                  Israel has killed over 15k Palestinians in Gaza in the last two months. Most of them children.

                  So by your metric that’s worse. Much worse.

                  Israel forced doctors to abandon infant children in a hospital, on the promise that the babies would be relocated by israeli forces.

                  They found the babies, rotting, in the cribs inside the hospital, after the ceasefire.

                  If youre defending literal baby killers you are a black hearted evil piece of shit. Unless you need defense from premature infants?
