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

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 8 months ago

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

[-] Fal@yiffit.net 9 points 8 months ago

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.
