I would love to end reddit boicot.
But the reddit app font is just to tiny for me use, and you can't change it without changing your whole phone font. I tried red reader but it is so ugly I can't use it.
So here I am, still boicoting reddit. I suppose it's not even a boicot anymore. I just don't like the product anymore.
I don't really consider them boycotts because they are indefinite and I don't have any demands or don't see how they could change that would make me receptive to them.
Cars. I'll personally ride along or carpool with someone but I don't want to add another car to the world and to the road. Even if we switched over to all electric cars, they still require lots of resources to build and maintain and put a lot of demand on infrastructure and urban design.
Animal products. I am against all animal products and treating animal as commodity. We've enslaved animals all the way down to the biological level, it's unethical.
Reddit, for reasons I'm sure everybody here knows. I do make two exceptions: first, there is one single small community on Reddit that "meets" once a week. I comment on those posts. Second, I'll allow myself to comment on posts about or related to boycotting Reddit.
Google's Android. While I don't currently want to completely switch to another Android OS, that doesn't mean I won't in the future. Currently, though, I do try to modify the OS as much as possible to protect my privacy to a reasonable extent. I recently switched from Chrome to Firefox on both my laptop and phone. I run an adblocker app 24/7 on my phone. And I trusted, modified versions of apps where possible, such as ReVanced. I also recently disabled the Google Play Store and started using the Aurora Store as my default.
I guess you could call these "soft" boycotts.
I would boycott Apple, but I like Android and its ability to install apps from outside their app store way more, and Windows just makes more sense to me than a Mac, so I honestly have no need for Apple.
As for modifying Windows (like I'm doing with Android) or boycotting it, I'm sure that'll happen in time with the way things are going. I've only just recently started looking into stuff like ShutUp10 and other similar stuff, but I want to make sure I know what I'm doing since a Windows OS can be a bit more fragile than an Android OS.
Is your username a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang reference?
Ha! Nope. Or at least if it is, I don't get the reference.
I first used "TootSweet" when I signed up for Mastodon (where posts were called "toots", at least at the time -- I think there have been moves to stop calling them "toots.") Aside from that, it's just a play on "tout suite" which means "immediately" in French.
