My comment was in no way a defense of Israeli settlement activity, which I find indefensible and the main obstacle to peace in the region. But to my understanding it is still factually correct that the land the settlements were built on didn't (at least for the most part) have any residents immediately before they were built.

Bread comes in too many different shapes and sizes for this to have a universal answer.

I think most Israeli settlements were built in previously undeveloped places.

All three of the sites you mention are big places and we have no way of telling what things you have and which you haven't been getting exposed to.

If you're into aviation, definitely Sint Maarten because of its airport where planes land very close to the beach.

I dislike the whole concept of "social media" in the Facebook sense.

I think the ideal form of "social media", which was also popular in 2004, was the web forum. I want that back, not something where I have to follow people, but something where I can meet and find people with common interests and discuss those interests with them.

Apache isn't copyleft, not sure why you thought it was

I posted it to 8 communities because there are 8 communities I am aware of where this on-topic. Some people might be subscribed to only a subset of them. This is the natural consequence of the fediverse enabling us to have more than one community for discussing the same topic.

Yeah just 1096 left for a round number

No, there are no instances whose communities I refuse to participate on. I have never blocked a community, user, or instance here.
