I do not use any more:
- Amazon
- Apple subscriptions (Apple Music, TV etc.)
- digital cloud
- AWS
- CloudFlare as domain register
- American big tech social media (all deleted)
- MS Office on my private machines (still forced at work, but am working on that)
All big American tech. NO MORE! We will never trust you again!
I am moving forward with removing US big tech companies from my life.

Fair shout from @steg I forgot to say what I replace all this with:
I forgot to mention as well that I replaced Edge browser (at work) with #vivaldi browser. Never looked back 🙃
- Amazon: this one is complicated, but I simply made a step back and realized that I am not supporting local businesses. I will now try to purchase local first, and if that is not possible, I will be looking for the stuff I want on the net via #ecosia (search engine, which I forgot to mention that I replaced google with), so that I purchase directly from small business (if possible)
- this one is simple, I revered curse and started purchasing blue rays again (movies), mp3 for music (no subscription)
- digital cloud and AWS where problematic, you get addicted to the ease of clouds: replacement’s: I de-centralized 1. #infomaniak_com (domain registrations) 2. #MythicalBeasts (cloud servers) from the UK 3. #BunnyVPN (this one is still in progress, but this will fully replace CloudFlare CDN)
- social media has been completely replaces with #mastodon
- MS Office on my private machines has been replaced with two packages: 1. #protonmail (email, calendar, and cloud drive) 2. #libreoffice for documents
This was not easy, but baby steps and we can get there!
Hope this helps whom ever wants to join the move #boycottusa
