Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 15:44:16 @Remittancegirl it's amazing to me that not shopping for a week is a purposeful event. What are people buying that would require them to go on amazon more than 2-3 times per year? |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 16:31:56 @TheresaReason @Remittancegirl I was the same when it was "don't shop this Friday" last week. I almost never buy anything on a Friday anyway. We grocery shop on Tuesdays and sometimes on a Thursday and most weeks, I don't buy anything else for the rest of the week! And if I do, it's likely in a charity or secondhand shop. I can't remember the last time I shopped on Amazon, it might have been for a book I couldn't get otherwise at the time. |

Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 16:04:03 make it an Amazon free year. There are alternatives. |

|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 19:33:25 works fine for me! |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 16:12:50 Seriously: You are actually wasting money buying via Amazon. It's very often not the cheapest option, sometimes not even by a long shot. Check out products on price comparison sites instead starting today and make these your first choice for any product search instead. Some even offer nearby store price comparisons - even more convenient! |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 16:20:46 @Remittancegirl - Absolutely; make them Amazon crash. |

Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 16:47:05 Here's a tip for those that don't want to see Amazon results in Google/DuckDuck or other searches. Just add: -site:amazon.com to your search query. |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 17:11:21 @gsymon @Remittancegirl Or use #kagi and block them permanently without extra parameter ;) |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 18:03:38 @gsymon @Remittancegirl I always click on the Amazon ads. It sends a little bit of money from Amazon to whichever site I'm browsing, at no cost to me. |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 19:00:11 @pheasant_plucker @Remittancegirl Good point! (On the downside it encourages them to keep selling via amazon). |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 19:05:34 @gsymon @Remittancegirl mostly they book via ad managers. Ecosia uses yahoo and Microsoft to provide ads. If Amazon doesn't get results then they'll shift to another ad manager, which is also a win. |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 17:01:18 @Remittancegirl switch to other providers. |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 17:28:19 I've never bought anything from Amazon. They are cheats - been aggressively avoiding tax in the UK since its inception and prefers to close down 'fulfilment centers' rather than allow unionization. Amazon can fuck off. I've been out with GMB on several occasions at Amazon Rugeley which it decided to close because of unionization. It's done the same in Quebec. They lie about it not being because of union activity. Scoundrels of the worst kind. Medien: 2 |

Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 17:21:36 @Remittancegirl Never have, never will. |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 17:33:09 @Remittancegirl Get rid of Amazon completely. There's nothing there you need. Aim for a broligarchy-free life as much as possible. |
|
Föderation DE Do 06.03.2025 17:59:35 @Remittancegirl Delete your account. Now. For good. Got rid of mine about ten years ago and I never miss it. Makes me buy more in shops, regional and often less. |
|
Föderation DE Do 06.03.2025 18:13:37 @ruedi @Remittancegirl Yes, if you really want to hurt Amazon, cut them dead. They're not going to care if they think you're coming back next week. It will be a blip to them. And that means their various tentacles: Whole Foods, Zappos, etc. Most of us don't have AWS accounts, but if you have any influence with people who do, use it. |

Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 18:34:09 @Remittancegirl I have never knowingly used Amazon. It's a terrible company for many reasons. #BoycottAmazon #FuckBezos |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 18:43:44 @Remittancegirl Thank you! One week is not enough. Quit amazon completely. There is no good reason for anyone to use amazon, ever. Crush it. |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 18:47:09 @Remittancegirl I can't. I've been boycotting Amazon for many years now. Can't boycot it any more than I already do. 🤷♂️ |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 18:48:37 That’s wonderful for you! So you could have just totally ignored my post then, since it’s not relevant to you! Yay |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 19:06:58 @Remittancegirl I could have, indeed. But instead I boosted it. My bad. |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 19:11:17 Oh, I’m so glad you boosted! I think that’s great! Hopefully more people will become just like you! |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 18:49:55 @Remittancegirl why one day? Make it a month, a year, or better still, just never buy from amazon again. |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 18:51:21 I don’t know. Did you think I’m the person organising or calling for this? No. Just passed on the info. And it’s for a week. Which doesn’t stop you from doing it forever, right? Go for it. |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 18:54:08 @Remittancegirl 😉 I didn't mean it personally to you. But yes, I'm boycotting amazon as much as I can. Will it be forever? I don't know. But so far I've been able to get all I need from other places. |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 18:59:30 @Remittancegirl I haven't used them since I learned a bit of how they treat their warehouse workers and drivers |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 19:03:17 Well, that’s excellent. So you could have just totally ignored my post then! Yay. |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 19:04:44 @Remittancegirl Just a friendly reminder to stop using them altogether ;) |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.03.2025 19:06:57 John… I was just passing on the info. You want to get people to stop using them altogether - go for it. Make your own image and go for it. |
