      A boycott will be more effective if we laser-focus our efforts:

      1. Focus on Amazon, Tesla (anything Musky), & Meta
      2. Make the boycott permanent

      As for me, I’ve done my part. I will never shop Amazon again, or purchase from any online store that uses Amazon for shipping, and all my Meta accounts have been permanently deleted. Done.

      Why restrict it to a few days or a week “blackout” or whatever? That’s weak sauce. Everything you can find on Amazon, you can find elsewhere. Stop giving them money.

      It’s been an amazon blackout since Bezos was front seat at the inauguration.

      Costco has a better return policy and still supports DEI. Though I’m not convinced Costco can replace some of the more niche items I order from Amazon.

          You can get other prime subscribers to add you as a “household member” so you get prime for free. Even if you’re not at the same address. Also fuck amazon

      Remember that you still buy the same stuff you normally do, you just don’t get them from Amazon and bezos. Specialty items can be bought directly from the manufacturer. Give them the full value for their products, don’t make them give Amazon a share just because you are too lazy to log into a non Amazon site.
