Shopify has been defending hosting the right wing for near a decade.

Good. That is unquestionably a draggable offence.

WHAT 😳😳😳😳😳😳
Oh my God, this is really significant. I don’t think people know this.

justen.bsky.social•94 days ago

And they’re anti-labour given their comments on the postal strike

uncljoe.bsky.social•91 days ago

There is why I have never gone near Shopify.

cooperlk99.bsky.social•94 days ago

Well we already know Lutke and his execs are a bunch of racist assholes. Seems to be a pattern for rich fucks these days. Must be part of the membership criteria.

mediocoreslime.bsky.social•93 days ago

welp now i feel sorry for everyone whos using shopify, not their fault but if i had set something up with them instead of having anxieties over if i could run a store id be devastated rn.

lapsedacademic.bsky.social•94 days ago

Everytime Shopify does something lately, they’re proving more and more how garbage a company they are.

jadepichette.bsky.social•94 days ago

Shopify has a history of doing this kind of thing. My former roommate got laid off after they addressed it platforming hate materials.

phillipem.bsky.social•94 days ago

As the lawyer should.

esoteric-diary.bsky.social•94 days ago

He’s hurting his clients by making it harder for Alex Jones to make money that could be used to pay the judgment

gregmason.bsky.social•94 days ago

The lawyer's clients want Jones deplatformed, as they should. Do you really think the lawyer hasn't discussed his action with his clients?

esoteric-diary.bsky.social•94 days ago

Was deplatforming the main damage the plaintiffs wanted to receive, instead of more money? If it was, then this makes sense. If it wasn’t, then the plaintiff would be better off if Alex Jones can keep making money.

gregmason.bsky.social•94 days ago

esoteric-diary.bsky.social•94 days ago

The lawyer could be just grandstanding to keep his name in the spotlight. It wouldn’t be the first time a lawyer didn’t put his clients first

skateintraffic.bsky.social•93 days ago

Alex Jones makes money by lying, your stupid idea guarantees someone else would win a gigantic lawsuit against him, making it harder for the current debtors including those plaintiffs.

imanxfartum.bsky.social•87 days ago

Hey everyone I’m a small start up and worked on starting my own website building company called shoppy Monkey! It’s better than Shopify + we actually care about our customers ! Based out of UK ! Check us out and share ❤️🫶🏽

shay333.bsky.social•94 days ago

I’m thinking… fuck Shopify.

talkhard19.bsky.social•93 days ago

Could you please share the email you used to contact them? I would like to shut my account & tell them exactly WHY I am & I don't mean some random customer service email, I want it to go where it will be read by the morons who made this decision

#FuckAlexJones

talkhard19.bsky.social•93 days ago

Is there an email where we can also contact them to let them know how we feel about it? I don't mean some random customer service one, I want an actual person in charge of this disgusting decision.

Big Yikes.

liarspeaksthetruth.bsky.social•93 days ago

Your reporting on the right wing inner circle was eye opening. Shopify's moral compass only ever points at dollar signs and swastikas.

pickersnext.bsky.social•94 days ago

Shopify sucks

thunderbayed.bsky.social•94 days ago

Boycott Shopify.

habsfan4evr.bsky.social•93 days ago

I think that if people can make a platform like BlueSky where enough people say enough is enough, the same kind of people can make a selling platform that puts its foot down and decides people over profit. Close your eyes and hear James Earl Jones "People will come, Ray"

Hope shopify gets sued.

achraflargo.bsky.social•90 days ago

Accountability matters, Shopify.

johnathan.bsky.social•94 days ago

Their history is so bad on this and thank you for keeping the spotlight on it. They bankrolled Crowder while he was getting people to dogpile a gay reporter, powered Rittenhouse’s legal defense fund, just never met an awful cause they didn’t want a piece of.

thunderbayed.bsky.social•94 days ago

You are wrong.

Got as far as DMng with Tobi about this a few years ago and it was clear how shallow his thinking was on it, even then. I’ve long since been blocked though. I guess he’s gone Founder mode.

This and this!

I wish people were more conscious of where they spend their dollars and what they give clicks online. I am very aware that just my clicks and eyeballs mean revenue for people so I'm very stingy.

nornironajay.bsky.social•94 days ago

No words.

Christ would call it Mammonism. He said "Easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

brettwb.bsky.social•94 days ago

I hope the lawyer takes any profit from that store for the victims. Also, never working for or associating myself with Shopify.

toddser.bsky.social•93 days ago

One of many reasons that I stopped using their Shop app. It was very convenient but no amount of convenience is worth supporting those people.

centristhumanist.bsky.social•93 days ago

Hmmm. Is there an end?

Drag the server provider. The hardware manufacturer. The OS provider. The web programmer(s). His ISP.

All for shutting Jones down. But this is not the way.

tailgunner.bsky.social•93 days ago

Your attempt at deflecting the behavior of Spotify and Alex Jones is pathetic and demonstrate how little you understand things. Shopify is collecting funds on behalf of Alex Jones and then distribute it to him, this is a huge difference with some engineering working at Intel designing a chip.

centristhumanist.bsky.social•93 days ago

lol. No one mentioned Spotify.

I did not deflect Alex Jones behaviour. Quite to the contrary.

You've read my post too quickly, without comprehension, thus triggering yourself.

Knowledge Fight reported this as well. For those who want the in-depth story on Alex Jones, check out the KF podcast. It's worth $1.5 billion, but it's free to listen to.

bs.mivox.net•94 days ago

Well! Now I’m even more glad I shut down my Shopify store.

It was a pain in the ass to set up on my own hosting account; but clearly more than worth it.

bs.mivox.net•93 days ago

…aaaand blocked some ai-avatar weirdo. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

christopher664023.bsky.social•94 days ago

That’s just bizarre. Shopify is merely a back of house software engine that anyone can purchase. The CEO of shopify is likely not even aware of this. Given that it’s one of our biggest exports I find it crazy to include it.

shitty-ally.bsky.social•94 days ago

The CEO of Shopify makes no secret of his support for hate. Long before this ever came up even.

xstompyx.bsky.social•94 days ago

So does his wife, Ally.

oldmanteeps.bsky.social•94 days ago

Him and his wife are active in hate groups in Canada.
