He can leave.

I already hated them after they fucked over Naomi Wu tbh.

But fuck that traitor.

arcknightt.bsky.social•109 days ago

Unfortunately not surprising from him - he used to post on Shacknews a fair bit back in the aughts and this definitely tracks.

exogenesis2.bsky.social•109 days ago

Oh look another tech billionaire feudalist.
Unrelatedly I have a new favourite machine.

Tobi Lutke drank some bad Kool-Aid…

insidejoke.bsky.social•109 days ago

Cant really say I know what is going on in Canada, but it seems from what I can gather on social media, that this guy is badly misjudging the moment in Canada. It's like an American CEO coming out after 9/11 and saying maybe AlQueda had a point.

thisisbenphelps.bsky.social•109 days ago

I just left out on a flight out this is accurate

smudgiesmom.bsky.social•109 days ago

Yikes.

bahdoge.bsky.social•109 days ago

I don't even know what Shopify is rofl

psvrh.bsky.social•108 days ago

Reposting here, but in summary, Lutke is a right-wing shitheel

Ugh - didn’t know @shopify.bsky.social was MAGA.
How ugly.
Will never use Shopify again.

heatherme.bsky.social•109 days ago

yep boycott @shopify.bsky.social

bombtracks.bsky.social•108 days ago

Damn I was going to start using them to support Canada. Mind you I ordered through them once a couple of years ago but the item never arrived 🤷‍♂️

If you remove the electricity and oil exports from the equation Canada buys significantly more US goods than the other way around.

The US chose Canada as a strategic partner to provide oil and electricity because it was stable and not OPEC.

Given them OPEC again, won’t take long to come back

What a ridiculous statement from Shopify! This was never about fentanyl at the border and standing up to a bully who wants to annex your country IS doing the right thing.

minouminou66.bsky.social•103 days ago

Never ever shopified. Never will. Glad I’m here to stay informed. What an idiot. He should be ashamed of himself.

Shopify, stop gouging Canadian merchants with USD pricing for subscriptions and shipping labels. Currency conversion is killing small businesses, and customers pay the price. If Shopify is truly Canadian, charge in CAD and support local businesses instead of making it harder to succeed.

So many billionaires just begging to be luigied, but so few luigis! Really, it's a supply and demand issue.

freeformz.me•109 days ago

As a person who runs a small
business on the side there really isn’t much useful competition in that space. I know there is competition. I’ve tried them all. And they’re all worse to much worse in various ways.

freeformz.me•109 days ago

And so so so so much of what folks buy online that isn’t from Amazon/Temu or a large corp flows through Shopify.

feybuns.bsky.social•109 days ago

You've realized how billionaires becomes billionaires. Force yourself as the one middle man for all transactions like this to go through. Its how Elon got richer than he started. It isnt innovation, its a necessity for your business to operate. Maybe Canada should break up shopify.

newschoolwombat.bsky.social•109 days ago

Trumps demands were for Canada to give up it's sovereignty.
So depending on your interpretation this amounts to him asking for being annexed by America, no?

birchbeach47.bsky.social•103 days ago

To Trump, fuck your demands and no we will NOT be giving up our sovereignty. 🇨🇦🍁

We are Canada 🇨🇦!!

Looks like we found the first prominent quisling.

eldavey.bsky.social•109 days ago

Yep. I did that a while ago. Also, do not forget to remove the Shop app from your phone. Most businesses that use Shopify will take orders over the phone but still use the platform to place your order.
Let them know why you are calling in the order.

Done

Lutke is a German/Canadian version of Musk and Thiel.

nealevon.bsky.social•103 days ago

Boycotted

Two minds, one thought.

cuddlessmash.bsky.social•109 days ago

People use shopify?

thisisbenphelps.bsky.social•109 days ago

Many. But it’s not a customer facing business.

cydeweys.bsky.social•109 days ago

Many many e-commerce websites online use Shopify. You've probably used them before, you just don't know it. Once you're familiar with their interface you see it everywhere.
