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.

So has the app been put back since the issue was fixed?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

I searched for it and didn't see it but one of the top results is "Boycott - Israeli Products"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

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!

Jfc can we defederate from blahaj? This is getting out of control

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

Honest to god I keep forgetting about this lol thank you

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah or do the beehaw thing where they have to write a little something

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Lemmy.ml required the same when I signed up. Maybe this should be the standard for major instances. Even Hexbear asks you to fill out a form

No? Soot (blahaj account) spammed this whole thread with porn

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

There's a bot, or a real person from the blahaj instance that's been spamming links in comment sections. @soot

Must just be for you on Kbin. I can't see them on sopuli.xyz, lemdro.id or Lemmy.ml when I view this thread

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

As far as I know, it's real. It comes from his OnlyFans.
There's also cat pic illusion meme made out of that. That's how I know.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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).

[–] doctorn 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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... πŸ˜…
