Welp, time to create the reverse app and tag houses that are religious.
Do what you want with that information.
Maybe the Jewish population could start a protest in front of there Church
Nah, just wait for the inevitable data dump because they won’t pay for competent security, and invert the data. No need to get the data yourself when they’re pretty much doing it for you!
Just check all the account addresses
Do you mean a surprise distributed data backup?
(referencing a recent meme on !programmerhumor)
Got a link that sounds hilarious
Any of you super coders in here know of a way to download the app ourselves and inject significant amounts of false data into it?
Also doubles as a kill list for when they decide it’s time.
Utterly absurd levels of paranoia on display in this comment.
You clearly don’t know the Christian Nationalists I know. Let me ask you something, only for true believers. If you really truly believed in your heart that God was calling you to kill in his name, would you do it?
I don’t believe in God.
Then do you have some context to understand what I’m asking? Because I know my share of Christians that either get uncomfortably quiet with that question or very confidently answer yes.
It’s mind boggling that there are people who think God couldn’t come up with a better solution than murder. I mean a micrometeorite could take anyone of us out at any point. Or he could wait for us to yawn and have a murder hornet fly into your mouth. Or y’know, being God and all and capable of doing anything, he could just have his giant disembodied hand come out of the wall, grab us and pull us to the other side, a la Legend of Zelda and that’s just if he insists on making it a spectacule and not just snap* aneurysm.

You’re one of the lucky 10000 today. Read up on Jewish registrations in the Netherlands.
Boy, I wish. Speaking as someone who knows these people, no. This is exactly what they want to do.
Welcome back! I’m sure you have a lot to catch up on after being in a coma or whatever. Number 1, an angry mob tried to kill the vice president and 12 million people think they were right to do it and it’s a shame they didn’t succeed.
To be fair, if you killed all your politicians maybe America would be a better place.
To be fair, if you killed all your
politiciansbillionaires maybe America would be a better place.FTFY
¿Por qué no los dos?
Billionaires can only become billionaires by forced monopolies and lobbying. Remove the politicians who are being bribed and replace them with normal people. No more billionaires.
Why not both?
This is exactly what the nazis did when they invaded multiple countries. Found the registries of Jews and you know the rest.
Welcome to the primary purpose
I’m pretty sure they just decided.
This is concerning. I don’t want some stranger knowing personal details about me before I even know they exist
I’ve received letters twice from the same individual who belongs to a JW church. The first was when they moved into the area, and the second was when I moved to another place.
Your property ownership records (if you’re American) are public records, and if you grab it within like, 3 years (where I live), you can even find the closing price and more detailed information on the sale.

My old post https://lemmy.ca/post/15598139
There was a Masto post recently where someone’s conservative mother told her that she knows being gay is a choice, because she feel attraction to girls, but she chooses not to act on it, and that’s the responsible Christian thing to do or w/e.
It legit made me all of a sudden realize why there’s so much overlap between the “we have to punish the gays and make it illegal” and “I secretly go to male prostitutes all the time” in Republican circles. It just all of a sudden harmonized and clicked into place and made perfect sense.
Many that think being gay is a choice, are in fact bisexual themselves. So for them it’s a choice on whether or not to act on it. And they project that everyone else is the same.
And even then it’s not really a choice, since you can’t really choose to stop having feelings. I guess that for bi people it’s easier to pretend, but where there’s love, there’s love.
It’s like, being a hetero dude and vlbeing forced to go with a girl when there’s another one you love. It’s hard in any case.
People tend to project themselves on other people. We all do it, and it can be shocking to find how different people actually are from each other. I’ve heard all my life from certain Christians that people who are atheist have no moral compass and there’s nothing stopping them from killing and raping people. Which I find revealing, because they are saying their beliefs are the only thing stopping them from doing those things. I have never once wanted to rape or kill anyone, maybe that’s why it’s easy for me to not believe in god.
That about the moral compass, and telling you that you cannot be happy without Jesus in your life are crocks of manure I know plenty of non-christians that live extremely happy and are much Kore decent than most of the Christians I know, including myself. In the same subject, I know plenty of Christians whose demeanor wouldbhave satanists praying for them since they could be worse people. And religions? Biggest issue in the world, bar none. Having faith is one thing, I have faith. I do NOT follow religion. Religions are full of dogmasbthat you are supposed to follow without question. Religion is what has Gaza busted the way it is.
Top tear post.
Made me cry too
It’s projection every time with conservatives. They hate you because they think you’re as shitty as they are.
Wait till they start using that same data to harass and target.
Isn’t that what they have always done
Never this efficiently and from such few tracks.
I mean that’s exactly where we are headed in the US.
Project2025 in part wants to institute laws against blasphemy… They quite literally want to make the united states a theocracy, absolutely no fucking exaggeration here. It’s literally what they want.
Serious question: Any source on that?
I’m at work so I can’t dig for something better, but this was posted yesterday so it was a quick pull from my browser history.

Edit: don’t be dumb guys, don’t downvote them for simply asking for proof of a claim I made without evidence lol
Thanks for the link! And thanks, people down vote too fast when people ask questions. I wasn’t even asking for proof, I was just curious and wanted to read more

Read the “Christian Nationalism” section.
Can I use it to find like minded individuals?
No, they are not in the dataset.
This is a yikes, they’re doing the Westboro Church tactics without wanting the money, just to harass.
The Mapping Center for Evangelism and Church Growth’s founder and president Chris Cooper suggests using the app to conduct neighborly activities such as putting on a barbecue for potential converts, but scattered throughout the app’s training and promotional videos are suggestions to undertake the controversial practice of “prayerwalking.” An idea becoming increasingly popular among Christian supremacist groups, prayerwalking involves believers flooding so-called “un-Christian” territories in order to combat “demonic strongholds.” In practice, it varies from blessing new neighbors to gathering groups to pray in front of everything from mosques to drag bars in service of “spiritual warfare.”
And how long until this app gets tied to several mass shootings and a spate of burning crosses?
I’ll give it about a week.
“It was a deeply disturbed lone wolf. It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do. Thoughts and prayers.”
“By the way we added a new feature! Now you can filter by…”
I dare one of them to show up to my front door. They are going to be in for a fucked up conversation that will make them second guess their life choices.
One stopped by my house last week. I told them this is an atheist household and the bible is a fictional story book, no offense. I quite enjoyed the face they made.
In my younger days told a Jehova’s Witness that Jesus was my favorite fictional character because he had the coolest superpowers. They went from overjoyed that I was engaging with them to Charlie Brown sad walking away in the space of a sentence.
These days I’d probably be more rude but less offensive.
My favorite interaction was on a college campus. They had set up a table and were telling every passerby “Jesus loves you!” So I cheerfully returned “and Allah loves you!”
I will forever cherish the physical recoil and look of revulsion that crossed their faces. I’m an atheist, for context
Funny stuff religions are. The Allah of the Muslims and the Yaweh of Israel is the same God. The split comes from the segregation of the people back then. Which just confirms my point. None of them investigate, and just follow whatever their “leaders” say without ever thinking to question anything.“Go house by house and say THIS. Do not deviate from the script.” They’re like cattle, seriously.
I did that and converted a Jehovah’s Witness to Linuxism.
The fundies are always carrying on about daemons, I hope you set the JWs up with all the “best” ones, and more.
I actually had them install Ubuntu Christian Edition and showed them the bible apps where they could even use their own interpretation of the bible.
I don’t like to waste my time just to fuck with people, I usually try to fuck with people in a way which benefits society as a whole.
Which distro?
TempleOS :p
Umm, that’s not Linux…
That’s a deep cut…
Praise be to Holy C.
Are the JW’s using this? Two stopped by my door a few weeks ago to convert me or us (my wife is Catholic, I’m atheist). I noticed that they drove separately, and I wondered why they hated the environment so much (we live off the beaten path). And I’m pretty sure they ONLY stopped at our house, one parked in our driveway and the other along the road in front of the house. It definitely didn’t seem like a general canvass.
Thats some Gilead shit.
JFC, I installed the app and added “my address” and immediately was given a list of names and addresses to “pray for”.
How am I supposed to pray for so many people!? What am I, an ATM?! Gelatians 4:20:69 had nothing to do with Gelato!1! This is getting 1 star and reported on the app store.
What the FUCK
For some reason it didn’t sink in to me from reading the article how weird and sinister this is
Literal names and addresses. Unbelievable.
Can you filter it to only immigrants? How flexible is the display of people’s names and addresses, family vs no kids, young or old, things like that?
Uninstalled already. It was pushy about asking for my church address so they could contact them to promote the app.
Dude, that’s beyond creepy. I know of 1 christian that will certainly never install that thing. Not that I can right now, since I have absolutely no Google or Apple store at my disposal. #degoogled all the way.
You know what they say, good Christians are ATMs
We really must find a way to purge our collective selves of the scourge of religion.
I wish it was never invented in the first place. I would much rather have a world where we argue over which scientific theory, or whatever, is right—rather than the one we have now, where a majority argue about whose ‘flying spaghetti monster,’ unseen for centuries (if ever), is better and why it trumps even the most solidly proven scientific facts.
Religion is a mental disorder.
Absolutely correct.
Scientific theory doesn’t tell you to love your neighbor nor does it give you strength. Religion is important no matter the specific beliefs.
You don’t need to be Muslim or Jewish yourself but you could at least try to be respectful. We don’t need any more hate in the world.
Scientific theory doesn’t tell you to love your neighbor
It doesn’t and religion shouldn’t need to, in fact if the only thing making you a general good person is a religion, then you’re not a good person. Morals and personal strength can and should be derived from other sources.
We don’t need any more hate in the world.
Religion is directly responsible for the bulk of the hate, in case you haven’t looked at the world around you. How many wars were started in the name of a religion? Whole groups of people are being discriminated against because of religion right now. There’s a war right now because of religion. X religion people hate Y religion people just because they believe in a slightly different flying spaghetti monster. Countless lives throughout history have been lost in the name of x or y religion.
A world without religion would still have hate, crime and greed because humans are humans, but it would be so much better than currently.
As it turns out, the vast majority or “religion” is completely harmless and is kept personal. The problem is the 1% who are constantly the target of bad PR (for good reason)
What are you saying? Are you advocating mass arrests? Good luck finding every Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and all other beliefs. Your statement seems overly broad.
Ah, yes. No religious wars and discrimination, no raped children, no mutilated babies, no subjugation. Religion is all fucking sunshines and chipmunks.
It doesn’t seem to be available on android
Ugh.
Door
It is conducted
Well are they doing it or what
My job is door.
When people ring your bell to annoy you about religion, reply by trying to converting them into atheism or another religion
Maybe not the best idea. According to the article, using this app they can leave notes about you for other members to see. Talking about satanism would probably flag you for even more harassment.
Hmm I would not know that they are using an app. Anyway I don’t think we should make any concessions or be scared of those people and adapt to them.
Noone has the right of making you swallow their religious views.
I just let my dog help me answer the door.
He’s a big boy and very talkative. The proselytize can’t get a word in…
I do that all the time. I don’t care if you’re a christian, Muslim, Jehovah’s witness or whatever else, if you come to my house uninvited to tell me why I should follow any religion, be ready for a heated debate on why that’s not your place, I dont care what your leaders have made you believe. Its one thing to talk about Christ to tell anyone about Him, and then drop it and move on to a civil interaction, its an entirely different thing to splat your believes on people’s faces and telling people they will go to hell if they don’tdo what you tell them. We have friends of all religions and lack of religion, and we have never attempted to change them. They know what we believe in, we know what they believe in, and none of that makes any difference. I’m glad I dont live in the US, nothing more disgusting than mixing faith with politics.
I don’t have time to argue with stupid.
