They are. There's a FOSS version of Telegram on f-droid.

I read the title as "saving cats from being slaughtered and sold as [...] meat".. When will police start heroically saving the millions of pigs or cows from being sold as whatever meat?

Exactly. The title read to me like "look at those good police saving the cars from being killed for meat". How about the millions of pigs that get slaughtered to be sold as pork meat. We don't care about them?

I'm trying to get your point. But a jew indicates a person of Jewish religion. In most dictionaries "Chinese" will mean "someone or something from China". I don't know what the word meant before the nation China arose or if there are ethnic meanings to it, but words mean what people understand them to mean, that's language, so Chinese kinda means "from China" today. That's why America now kinda means the country and democracy means republic or other form of majority-rule representative democracy 🤷 (the two lost words I miss the most)

Pigs are way way nicer animals than cars. Cats are evil and grumpy. A pig is cheerful and friendly

Hmm, I think many users just weren't aware. No everyone follows the main subreddits, or checks r/all. Not all subs closed. I guess the majority of users saw some stuff pass by but probably didn't read into it too much. You know, most people spent the majority of their awake time working to "make a living".

What if they didn't know Lemmy existed?

The opposite actually, my brain finally gets some rest and quality alone-time when I'm in the shower.

They can't really though. To Israel they can only if Israel issues them permits. So they can't. Israel bombed their airport in 2001, so they can't fly. The border crossing with Egypt is not always open and also subject to Egypt letting them in. Also, they don't have passports that are recognized by any nation. So they really have very few options.

I'm defending Palestinians who have in no way elected Hamas, and who are killed by an elected government because some random terrorist organization happens to be residing in the same literal prison they are trapped in by the same named elected government.
