Boycott US
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

I'm glad that this boycott of US tech companies is continuing as an American, I feel like US tech companies have been getting too bold and dangerous. It would be best if even more places in the world abandon Microslop, Apple, and Google to kick them in the pocketbook!
I know I am but a small % of a % of a % who has stopped using google products almost altogether, I still use YouTube but I use the iOS app Unwatched to watch videos. I do not use gmail, or any of googles suite of office apps. I use pihole to block a lot of ads I use AdGuard to block a few more. I use searXNG sure it scrapes googles search results with a few others but I do not see ads, and I do not see the google doodles. I have not used Microslop propratary stuff since 2014, my ISP started using exchange so I got a domain package hosted with unlimited email addresses and changed my email for everything that had an iCloud hide my address and then everything else got their own email address I know longer use my ISP’s email address. Because I do not have the money to up end everything I have to do it slowly so I still have my iPad, my iPhone, my HomePods, and my appleTV. The only apple service I use is FaceTime. The only thing Amazon that touches my place is the pages hosted on AWS. I wish everyone would start going as far as me, I have a home lab set up with a bunch of pi’s because I did not want to pay intel or amd for a CPU when I got my home lab set up. I am looking into self hosting my domain and email address in the near future
