This is absurd and historically wrong.

In cash?

BeReal and Soundcloud are huge commercial and proprietary services. The criteria on the left are quite misleading, when not applied to all applications that are recommended.

I didn’t want to introduce religion by doing that comparison. I just wanted to point out that there are different types of Zionism as there are different types of Islamism. Some are oppressive and/or used to oppress while some are not. But generalizing is simply false.

For one there are multiple types of Zionism and historically Socialist Zionism was long the popular type. But recently unfortunately Religious and Revisionist Zionism gained popularity under Netanjahu. And Israel’s government want people to think that they are the “true” Zionists, but that is not true. Opposing Netanjahu and supporting Zionism is not contradictory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_Zionism

Regarding your definition of Nazism and Facism, I think while Israel is becoming more and more authoritarian and it’s government is obviously right-wing it still doesn’t qualify as Nazism or Facism. If you like it or not Israel is still a (failing) democracy and there are Arab minorities living in Israel and are represented in the Knesset. I think it takes more to call Israel fascist, like a totalitarian dictatorship for example.

And just to be sure, I heavily condemn the genocide and famine happening in Gaza and by no means do I want to excuse anything the Israeli government is doing. I just want to stand in for a differentiated view on Zionism as it’s a very important and heterogeneous philosophy in Judaism. And furthermore I don’t think overly simplified images of an enemy are helpful for anybody.

Trust is good, control is not better.

That’s like saying “Islamism” is synonymous with “Terrorism” just because Hamas excuses their actions with Islam.

The devs don’t really seem to have a clue about smartphone.

This is not true. https://bsky.app/profile/grapheneos.org/post/3lt2prfb2vk2r

Punishing all Israelis because of their government is antisemitic.

Very interesting read. Thanks for that.

Yeah, you got it.

I’d say both is true. If I need a quick meal I’m glad I can just order something ready-made, but I also enjoy to cook an intricate meal for hours. OP is maybe worried that people forget about the latter and only prefer the ready-made solution.

This comparison is just wrong.

Do you remember when people boycotted Facebook because of the genocide of the Uyghurs? Me neither!

Nice roundup, good to see that I’m already familiar with all the applications. ;)
