EA, for destroying many of the dev companies and game franchises I loved growing up.

Nestlé, for destroying the planet, stealing water, and poisoning kids in less-developed countries.

I’m over it now, but for 5 years I was anti-public transit. After working a 12 hour OT shift I took the train home. Sherriff was on the train and started checking peoples tickets. I opened my bag dug around literally 30+ other tickets, found my day pass and turned it over.

But I didn’t get a day pass that day, I got a one way because of my OT plans was supposed to be an Uber home.

So I got fined $250 for it. The crazies would just get pushed off the train but normals would get fined I guess. Pissed me off so much I just stopped using the public transit for half a decade.

Google, Amazon and Facebook will never see another cent, ad-view or personalized data point from me.
So far, this has affected relatively little to be honest. The most impact was losing access to WhatsApp.

I’m boycotting Sabra hummus until Israel gives us a motherfucking ant-colony-level Hamas bunker under that hospital. We were promised a whole ass command center and got a wack ass video of one hole. I want to see the secret lair.

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (5 children)

/s for anyone concerned. I condemn Hamas super hard.

I still deal with every company people here are listing. I even really like some of them despite the owners views etc. (if you make a good chicken sandwich and beat your wife, I’m still gonna eat that sandwich while hoping you go to jail).

I have not seen anyone mentioning Reddit yet though, and that kinda shocks me. I know it’s not the same as giving them a dollar but they’ve received no eyeballs, add revenue or obviously content from me since the exodus.

This is a colossal list

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I go by more of a criteria than a list. This criteria is followed personally but fits even more at my own workplace in the protocol. The criteria is really just things like "these businesses do not follow courtesy", things like GoodWill, Autism Speaks, and Catholic Charities. There's a charity ranker that has listed Catholic Charities as the top charity almost three years in a low. That's on the blacklist too, we've known better all along. I can give a much larger list if asked.

It's one thing to treat your people like fools, it's another to run on gifting by members and still do it.

The only one I truly boycott to that extent is Wal-Mart. It's just so incredibly easy. There's always another place to get the thing.

Superstore/Loblaw's and really any and all big box grocery store in Canada. They fixed bread prices and are colloquially known as the "Bread Cartel".

Several local (but national chain brand) furniture stores.

So many reasons. One had better quality furniture on display than what they sold by a long way. Another tried to give me not one but two firm mattresses instead of medium and lie to me about them. Yet another got caught out blatantly lieing to my face about delivery times and procedures.

All of them had great customer service right until the point that they had our money and then completely treated us like garbage afterwards.
