honestly i think this is the only way for us to make any impact but we need more of us to participate. 😪

Yes. Post your contribution under the hashtag #FascismIsBadForBusiness

I use Libby for audiobooks! I'll keep an eye out for a good Spotify alternative.

I sadly chose to move away from CapCut & Tiktok too 😪 the circumstances around the last few days were telling. Thankfully, I found a great CC replacement, now just hoping @skylight.social is everything it seems to be!

I love Libby! What is the CapCut alternative?

Same!

Why cancel HULU and Spotify? Don’t even tell me they have anything to do with Meta?

I’m also eliminating places that are donors to the king of turd such as dollar tree, Walmart, Amazon and others. We have to hit them where it hurts. 💸

I’m trying to limit spending as much as possible. In capitalism you vote with your money.

Disney owns Hulu. I am trying to hurt big companies so they see fascism is not good for business and actually do something.

frankysnausages.bsky.social•43 days ago

Understood.

I have a huge collection of ripped CDs on an old phone that I'm using for a music player. Got them strictly from the library.

Thanks for posting. I need to do some cancelations myself.

I find this very hard to do, because I want to stay in and not go out much. I also don’t want clutter. I am doing local shopping, local dining and looking up to make sure they are not supporting the right side. For now not spending money unless really need to.

Check if your library card has Hoopla which has some streaming options!:)

the-goth-mom.bsky.social•44 days ago

I'm working on doing the same! Going back to physical media (CD's, DVD's) from local second hand stores (NOT Goodwill!!) And loving it!

eggrolltime.bsky.social•44 days ago

Check out your library card. A lot have Hoopla!

I will only buy why I need to unnecessary purchases.

eggrolltime.bsky.social•43 days ago

Same

reignydaze.bsky.social•44 days ago

Same!

And, we aren’t angry enough because we are too distracted by Netflix, socials, etc… me? No. I’m getting more focused then ever

Yes, convenience and quick dopamine hits are the new opium of the masses.

I switched from Spotify to Tidal this week, and so far I'm enjoying the sound quality difference already.
Was paying 16.99 for the dual account on Spotify .
Now I'm paying 16.99 and have up to 6 accounts I can link. So far, so good!
