I get a lot of household things from Grove or just order things from businesses that I learn about from searching Amazon

NOW. Do all this now! Today Medicaid could be hatched, & you are waiting to implement this on March 7th because why? How will you bill Medicaid when it is gone?

believeinyoursmile.bsky.social•3 days ago

Some people need to be eased into it.
Yes, I know.

OP, however, very likely already doesn't use it.
It's easier to gain momentum for this if it's been announced well before.

Did you know you can Google shop search and omit Amazon results! Just add
-site:Amazon.com to your search term

lj-bear.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is so helpful, thank you!

believeinyoursmile.bsky.social•3 days ago

It works on Ecosia as well🙂

Even without it, I don't see Amazon in the first few results, but that might be due to where I live (not American).

Cancelled prime and honestly it’s been so much easier than I thought it would be! I think people will be surprised at their ability to live without Amazon.

believeinyoursmile.bsky.social•3 days ago

Never had it and I'm doing well🙂

stanzman.bsky.social•3 days ago

Unions better watch out they've never been in a less favorable environment

frogarooindausa.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m game. But then that needs to include everything that runs on AWS. And that gets a lot harder. Disney+, Netflix, The Guardian, a bunch of social media platforms (easy to not use), Adobe, etc

believeinyoursmile.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'd say, start with this and then work towards the rest if it's easier for people.

Help people get there and don't judge those willing to help for not being perfect immediately

frogarooindausa.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m not judging anyone. Just saying that Amazon spreads wide and if the goal is to hurt them in the wallet then that needs to happen too

believeinyoursmile.bsky.social•3 days ago

I know. Just saying that in general.
Already cancelled my Disney + and it had quite some things related to my favorite fandom on it, so it was hard😉

Wow, how fake they all were.

breadthieves.bsky.social•3 days ago

Delete Amazon, don't just avoid it.

They use you for your data too!

Delete your whole account (not the app, the account)!

I did. I do not miss it at all. I can get anything they had somewhere else. I also found some small shops I like both online and nearby.

You won't regret leaving them.

dogmom63.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hell, I have been boycotting them since Bezos sold whatever soul he had to the 🍊 baphoon! I will NEVER FORGET, and I will NEVER shop there EVER AGAIN!

maretheone.bsky.social•1 day ago

I deleted Amazon on January 20

A good alternative is using an app like GoWish to make a wish list of things you want to buy off of other websites. It pulls pricing automatically and you can share lists just like Amazon, but you get the added bonus of not supporting a company that forces us to pee in bottles. (Yes I work for them)

twishyb.bsky.social•3 days ago

Week long? We can do better than that. I will never use Amazon again.

physiciandemocracy.medsky.social•3 days ago

This is just the start, hopefully people realize it was not that hard and will quit forever.

clodpool.bsky.social•3 days ago

And then continue a spending strike as best you can, until this madness is over. Direct any money you spend very carefully.

They became oligarchs because we gave them our money.
They remain oligarchs because we still give them our money.
Stop giving them money.

allcott.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes, for sure and … less of a boycott and more of a change in who we support with our dollars

feenwald.bsky.social•2 days ago

15 yrs of amazon boycott and still alive :)

moonied.bsky.social•2 days ago

We need an alternative to Amazon. Canadian would be great

oma1966.bsky.social•3 days ago

Make it permanent.

unionprouduaw.bsky.social•3 days ago

Walmart did the same thing about 8 years ago when they announced their $10 an hour minimum. They eliminated overnight shift premiums, gutted vacation benefits, killed Sunday premium, raised insurance OOP premiums.

d-rmartin.bsky.social•3 days ago

I used to get 2-3 Amazon deliveries each week. Haven't gotten one in 2 months. Also cancelled Prime.

believeinyoursmile.bsky.social•3 days ago

You're doing the right thing.
Thanks to people like you, this boycott is going the right way

eotswotm.bsky.social•2 days ago

Already boycotted.
