Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system.

Bad news about Target: they've cancelled their DEI initiatives to cater to the administration

[cilethesane@lemmy.ca]

Okay, so start boycotting Amazon now and don't stop.

I believe they're already under a 40 day boycott

[lootboblin@lemmy.world]

Those fuckers stole my digital comics library. I already stopped using Twitch and I havent bought their shitty and useless Chinese made electronics in years. Fuck Nazis, fuck Amazon, fuck Google, Fuck Trump, Fuck Musk, Fuck America! (the last part I take away when you vote the Orange Fuck Face away!)

[kraiden@kbin.earth]

Oh please, that's not even close to what I said. I just don't want them to cancel a show I like and you're all acting like I'm swinging from Bezos' dick. You're all rabid.

[mrodri89@lemmy.zip]

Id rather just forever boycott anything bezos related.

[null@slrpnk.net]

How do you get people who can't see themselves boycotting indefinitely? You get them used to it by getting them on board to boycott for a fixed length of time. Ideally, as they warm up to the idea, you get them to boycott for longer.

Haven’t used Amazon for 1.5 years already

[aceshigh@lemmy.world]

I guess it’s a good thing that I’ve always been a minimalist. These things don’t really impact me. I very rarely buy stuff.

[1rre@discuss.tchncs.de]

I personally haven't bought anything from Amazon for years now (or really anywhere online, I think maybe 8 things in the past year?), issue is even within the last week I've spent hundreds if not thousands on AWS through work... Sure it's not me paying, but it's also pretty hard for me to not to given they have such a monopoly

[sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works]

Eh, still better than Amazon.

[sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works]

Hmm, that's about how often I shop there. Accidental boycott I guess?

[thejml@lemm.ee]

Definitely boycott Walmart. They’ve been horrible a lot longer than Amazon. I haven’t purchased from Walmart in a decade and a half and I see no reason to stop now.

[thejml@lemm.ee]

True, but 7 days isn’t enough time for that. I’ve gone weeks between purchasing the kinds of things Amazon delivers, so it’d just be normal. 2+ months is probably better. Especially if those months are Nov & Dec.

[warlockofthewoods@lemy.lol]

Yep. I live in the middle of nowhere, I'm not gonna start shopping at Walmart to give up amazon. Walmart was absolute shit first

[shutz@lemmy.ca]

Much of the province of Québec is already boycotting them since January, after they closed all their warehouses here to prevent them from unionizing.

[null@slrpnk.net]

Some people can't even handle a 1-day boycott. I think you're overestimating the average person's tolerance for discomfort.

[thesystemisdown@lemmy.world]

Me too, 2010ish though. I wish I could figure out how to boycott AWS. As an aged developer with a little bit of influence, I've steered plenty of clients, employers, peers, and juniors away, but I still use the internet. There's no detaching from that.

[ohvenus_baby@lemmy.ml]

That warehouse disaster was horrible. Those poor souls. May they rest in peace.

[4am@lemm.ee]

We have a lot more to atone for than the orange Nazi but thanks for the vote of faith
