Well done. I deactivated Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Spotify and Pinterest. Pinterest was the hardest but I refuse to support the Tech Bros who attended the Inauguration. Google's next 😡. Mind you, it's like living in the dark ages 😆 - ThreadSky

I’ve been using Bing instead of Google.

Ecosia is another one. They plant trees too.

I switched to Duck Duck Go. I used to just use it at work now I use it at home too

Also Ecosia

Please don’t delete Pinterest! It is a BLUE company. You can look all sorts of brands & companies up on Goods Unite Us. I even use it when I’m in a store to check brands.
I’m also off FB, IG, Threads, Twitter, Spotify & am canceling Walmart+ & haven’t ordered from Amazon in a month.

I’m almost 100% Costco and small local businesses now. Oh, and Barnes & Noble when I can because it’s true blue!

I'm in Australia. I'm not sure if we have Costco here. I'll check it out.

I thought Pinterest and Google went into partnership last year. Then the CEO, Ben Silberman walked (or was pushed). I'm happy to reactivate if this isn't the case.

Thanks for the heads-up on Pinterest. I’ve done my cull but that one slipped through! But what is the issue? - I can’t find anything in the news (UK)

It's in partnership with Google and the CEO Ben Silbermann walked away from Pinterest altogether. This happened last year.

Ah, thank you! I can live without all those AI images of car-sized cabbages in gardens then!

claire02.bsky.social•11 days ago

I used to love the garden designs on Pinterest 💔. I'll be strong 💪

Yaaaay! You did it, that’s awesome. 💙

I have a few more to add:
WAPO
NYT
Amazon
Walmart
Target

It’s a bit bumpy the first couple of weeks but I’m now 3 months into this and don’t miss it at all.

Kudos to you, I’m so proud of all of those who are really going the extra mile!

I'm in Australia 🦘 so we don't have the same products/companies as you.
