No, meth is an amphetamine. Meth is not amphetamine, amphetamine is a different molecule.
Meth is amphetamine.
If you’re feeling brave/stupid, try calling it something like Khat.

You didn't read the post, did you? Please go and read the post. Especially the following section: https://github.com/x74353/SaveAmphetamine#what-arguments-can... The App is named Amphetamine and not Meth which imho is a big difference.
You pointing out semantics makes zero difference to how I feel about meth/amphetamines and how regardless of semantics these are insensitive product names. When I hear “Amphetamine” I instantly think if they people I know who’s lives have been destroyed, but you feel I’m mistaken and you’ve got a good argument against my line of thinking. Telling me how to think.

Nitrogen is an element, and a very common one at that. Explosives are a fringe use case. Amphetamine on the other hand has only one very well defined use case. I get the reference to another similar app (Caffeine) but this is a step too far, indeed portraying a dangerous drug in a positive light.
> Amphetamine on the other hand has only one very well defined use case. Are you referring to the widespread use of it as an ADHD medication for children all throughout the nation?
It's like banning an app called fertilizer because fertilizer can be used to make bombs.
The problem here is that there is a centralized app store that can gate your product. On Windows, you could just host the msi or exe on your website.
This would be analogous to Microsoft kicking them off the windows app store. You could still download it manually.
You’re angry. I’ve felt this in a trademark lawsuit. You think the world should get behind you and change the corrupt system. My advice is to immediately rebrand as gracefully and effectively as possible and use all that activist energy to effect the transition. They kind of have a point which doesn’t make them right, but they hold all the cards and you will lose this one and regret the wasted bandwidth.
This is why it keeps getting worse and worse. People just comply!

(Yes, I'm mostly joking. Just change the name.)

You're the one who brought up meth. Amphetamine isn't meth. Looks like it's you that has the meth obsession. Shouldn't you be ashamed with yourself for having used the word? What about all the people whose children's lives have been destroyed by meth? Shouldn't you delete your comment? Also can you please link me to a study that shows a causal link between names of apps, and an increase in usage in that drug the app…

Just like how the hydrocortisone I’m using for my eczema is a steroid, yet it would be unwise to confuse it with Winstrol or Dianabol.
