Boycott US

Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

As an ex-apple fan girl I have cancelled all of my apple services and am moving mostly to self hosted services.
Fuck Apple
That’s why you should not use or install the app
You can absolutely still use the app, so long as you subscribe on the web.
I understand you mean that we should use the webpage instead, right?
Yes. Cut out the middleman that is just there to take money and doesn't offer anything extra.
Yeah I agree, but their comment might have been read as if they were criticising patreon itself, since for a lot of people the concept of "app" is the whole service. That's why I asked for clarification while directing them to the good outcome :)
That’s why you should not use or install ~~the app~~any Apple product of any kind.
Fixed that for you.
Walled gardens, man...
More countries need to force Apple to allow sideloading on IOS.
App store boutta become a ghost town.
How is that even possible?
They can charge for the app in their app store, but how can they take a cut from the paid subscriptions of another company?
App Store Monopoly Mafia
Guess creators are gonna start spruiking their new non-patreon links.
Lol. Whoever uses those devices probably deserves it and doesn't care anyway. Fuck walled gardens...
