Mods, i feel like we need a wiki, or perma-sticky. I don't want to give these fucker commie pieces of shit my dollars or my info anymore than I have to. I'm sick of being on the wrong end of cancel/boycott culture.

I'm lucky to some degree, i used to work in IT, have a decent home lab, and self host a lot of stuff. I moved away from gmail about 5 years ago and started hosting my own email. I just have a few gmail accounts that get spam and junk.

I'm experimenting with nextcloud as a google drive replacement, and as a google docs replacement.

My next step will be to experiment with photo prism as a google photos replacement.

while I haven't deleted my Facebook account, i have started purging all my old posts from it by use of scripts, have deleted the app from my phone, and only use it very rarely to check in on certain older family members.

My IG will be next to go.

I'm tired of giving these fucks my data, and letting them use me as a product if they hate my very existence.

My wife has amazon alexa's all over the house, also on my list is getting rid of those, and replacing them with open source self hosted voice assistants that I have control over such as mycroft, and rhasspy.

I stopped my autopay for amazon prime today and will not renew it as i start transitioning to alternative eCommerce sites.

So i'm slowly working my way towards getting these fucks out of my life, and my wallet. But we've now seen shopify and stripe ban trump, they support a lot of web stores. while shopping local is great, for some of us it's just not a realistic option for everything.

We should set up a wiki or a list of businesses/services we should avoid, and those we should try to give our money to.
