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

    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

    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
