I'm kinda dissapointed for Google blocking fediverse apps, most of users that read something online about Mastodon will search for apps on Google Play to get on fediverse train and that is only reason why I don't like blocks. On the other hand thank I'm kinda glad that Google is not hosting those apps because fuck Google.
@nikolal what??? Why are they blocking them?
@Wetrix
Because those apps partake in hate speech by not blocking instances that allegedly do that. And I'm not talking about Gab and Spinster only.
More on that on this post:

@nikolal that's also a very flawed analogy Google is taking and they know it.
If this was the case every social media app in existance would be in the same situation. Starting squarely with Shitbook which has thousands if not tens of thousands more hate speech groups on it than the fediverse does and Shitbook looks the other way unless they get caught yet Google doesn't mind their apps.
