I don’t think veganism really works to whitewash the crimes of either the Israeli or Saudi Arabian government. Even for vegans, those crimes are probably some of the first things they think of when we hear of those countries. It is good that Tel Aviv has a decent vegan scene, and it is good that Al Waleed is having some vegan influence. However, I don’t think veganism is considered so good to most people that it really does anything to mask those issues (and it certainly doesn’t make up for them.) For what it’s worth (not much) I do agree that the praise of Al Waleed is worse since Tel Aviv is made up of many more parts than the Saudi Arabian royalty and I don’t think the average Israeli resident has as much power as Al Waleed.

That seems a pretty risky boycott

Hello everyone!

I’ve gotta get on that that sounds amazing

A really vibrant YouTube alternative. I’d love to never use a Google service like that again.

I’m a rabid (addicted) watcher so while Peertube definitely works it just doesn’t have the same amount of content on all random niches. Very cool project though.

100% I don’t know how (if) a federated system could really handle the volume of data that YouTube does.

AI art can be pretty cool but nothing to me tops the insane cover art of vintage speculative fiction. The artists who worked on those were incredible. I’d be sad to see all indie work perish.

Do these books tend to be banned often in the US? At a government level or at individual libraries/schools?

Way more fun than communities! Plus it speaks to the Reddit exodus in a bit of a tongue in cheek way.
