There has been of talk of the right coming here and how they are attempting to co-opt or destroy it so they control communication. The solution is truly distributed platforms like Mastodon. I know its nerdy and hard, but join if your truly value the ability to say whatever you want.

I've worked in retail before and I can tell you, most customers give zero fucks about this. They just want to get in, get out, buy what they need at a reasonable price with as little friction as possible.
As a customer, I hate shit like this because it feels fake and creepy.

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

I boycott Spotify because they treat artists like shit. The ICE ads were just a bonus reason.
Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.
We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.
