well we're all glad you're so pure but it's a messy world and i'm pretty sure her main priority is reach, which it should be for now

People will keep saying "reach" as they're being marched towards the camps.

Also, most of that "reach" is manufactured nonsense. The ROI on those eyeballs is trash, unless you're trying to scam 75-yr-old boomers with meme coins or reverse mortgages.

Using products made by fascists or fascist supporters is by definition fascist in itself. Imagine being again fascism and still using an iphone or ordering something off of prime. lol wild.

Oh no, I also canceled my prime account. I'm just saying that there is a hierarchy and unless you've gone back to a 2002 Nokia phone, I think Apple is your best bet (for now).

There are more modern dumbphones out there, as well as de-googled android operating systems

Fair point. If you're using a dumb phone OR a rooted vanilla install of android on hardware you trust, you're definitely a better consumer than me. Kudos.

In general, boycotts are a good thing. I wish people would do the obvious and easy ones, i.e. meta, x, tesla/space x, etc.

Agreed on the boycotts. Re. phones, it ain't a competition, just wanted to mention those for anyone unaware 😄

I mean, apple sucks for a number of reasons, but they're not in the same convo as meta or x. Here's a good list to use.
