Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Reddit, X, Tesla, Sweet Green, Chick-fil-A, etc.

Google/Facebook: spyware

Microsoft: Windows is spyware and I’m just done with Windows. There are many better options for software.

Reddit: CEO is a prick. Gone the way of Facebook

X/Tesla: CEO is a prick, racist and anti-semite

Sweet Green: CEO blacklisting students for protesting war

Chick-fil-A: Run by far right bigots

far right bigots

Add In-N-Out and Hobby Lobby to that.

I meant to add In-N-Out… but I do avoid it, mostly because the food isn’t good and is all over hyped.

Never been to Hobby Lobby

[–] TechyDad@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I'd say that my wife is boycotting Hobby Lobby despite crocheting a ton, but that would imply that she's shopped there in the past. Still, we'll occasionally pass by one and laugh about how we'd never go in there.

I always find it interesting when people target Chick-fil-A... Like why them specifically and not all the others? Especially the other companies that go all rainbow in June and have spots in pride parades. https://www.dataforprogress.org/accountable-allies-pride

TIL Microsoft is better than I expected, they only donated $2,000 to anti-lgbtq

[–] L4rr@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wtf... Where can I read up on that?

[–] Fal@yiffit.net 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Usually how these things work is that it's either employees donating and having to list their employer. Or the employer will match any donation to a non profit from any employee up to a certain amount.

So this could be 1 employee donating 3k and Microsoft matching it

Ouch. Code of conduct may need a review over there in Redmond.
