Technology

Recommendations: if you have any technical aptitude, get a vice, pliers, wirecutters, nylon cord, and several yards of fastener wire from a local hardware store. That can solve a very large number of minor accessory problems with ingenuity. Old-school prototyping can ween you Off buying smaller "specialized" products.

Haven’t used Amazon for 1.5 years already

Wait until the 15th to order everything you were going to order this week. That will show them!

This is too weak and virtue oriented.

That said, I guess its better than nothing. Focusing on promoting alternatives however would probably be a little more effective. Amazon has a lot of weird niche products that I've struggled to find else where from trust-able sellers.

Late to the party but my subscription is officially cancelled in a couple days.

I guess it’s a good thing that I’ve always been a minimalist. These things don’t really impact me. I very rarely buy stuff.

Wouldn't it be easier to disrupt the system by—I don't know—something old & boring like asking everyone to clean out/close their bank accounts at the same time to cause a run on banks?

Where do people come up with these weaker ideas? Trump's inanity might disrupt the economy more than these efforts.

I am at a weird-feeling place at the moment. I got too comfortable buying things from Amazon, so my brain doesn't know how to shop now. But I canceled my Prime soon after the inauguration, and I'm thinking I need to delete my account all together to kind of force myself to start working on using alternatives.

Doing my boycott for the half a year already and at best are uszally small things like tea bags because that type is nowhere I have seen yet.

The economy has been helping me boycott for years now. Can't buy if you don't have disposable income.

Already canceled my Prime subscription renewal due to Bezos’ prior shenanigans. Unfortunately, still have it until June. But, I don’t plan to use any of it.

Much of the province of Québec is already boycotting them since January, after they closed all their warehouses here to prevent them from unionizing.

Practice makes perfect, but this better viewed as steps to cutting them out of our lives and not just nudging them to stop supporting facism, destroying workers and our planet.

The need us. We don't need them.

Never started buying from amazon. The stories on Reddit where enough to turn way. I admit having searched the site now and then, but you get the same prices elsewhere, Especially in Europe there is no need for them.

I stopped buying on Amazon Jan 20. I will cancel Amazon Prime today. Many people will also stop buying and many people will cancel Prime. When they stop buying for a week, they tend to find alternatives that they stick with. I was buying several hundred dollars worth of merch but have found better alternatives. I will not go back. Seven days is just a start. Amazon is noticing.

I moved on from Amazon to local after the 28th.

With a few exceptions, I haven't bought from Amazon in more than a decade. I never buy from them unless I absolutely can't find the thing I need anywhere else.
