Have you done any de-platforming?

I deleted my Facebook profile (even though I had hardly used it in years).

Last week I cancelled my YouTube TV.

I just switched away from AT&T for my smart phone.

This phone is the last Apple product I will ever buy.

I already used DuckDuckGo instead of Google.

I deleted Safari and Mozilla and switched to Brave.

I didn't ever buy much from them but now I've deleted my Amazon account entirely.

After finding out the owner is a Leftist, I've bought my last coffee from Black Rifle Coffee.

I closed my Bank of America account a year ago when they came out as anti gun.

I switched away from Turbo Tax about a year ago when they came out as anti gun.

I'm currently looking for a good alternative to paypal.

I have not been shy about telling any of these companies that going woke has costs. Have you started purging Leftist companies from those you buy from?

The advantage of being a longtime member of FR is knowing not to succumb to those sites to begin with.

Owner of Black Rifle Coffee Evan Hafer has donated to Obama and to Act Blue. They’re just posing as being on our side. They’re not. Its just a marketing ploy. Time to buy your coffee elsewhere.

Trying to follow suit as well. My FB account should be deleted first week of next month. Uninstalled Firefox in favor of Opera. Use Duck, Duck Go to do searches. Plus I use a VPN too. Dropped all pro sports viewing. Still watch some college for now. I don’t watch TV, just dabble with my Roku a bit. Mostly listen to music. As a veteran from the mid to late 70s the nation’s direction is unsettling to say the least. Recall that Democrats elected to attack a federal fort after an election result made them angry. So it’s not a matter of if a civil war is coming, but merely when.

In the last 5 minutes I just deleted What’s App (owned by Facebook) and got the app for Signal instead.

My wife is Chinese so, the Chinese Grocery

There is a Walmart near us, a Fiesta, and an El Rancho. I treat the El Rancho like I do HEB/Smart Shop.

Mainly we shop at Aldi and FoodTown in the Houston area.

I’m sorry to hear that. I have or had friends in the theatre here in my home town. The glee over getting away with election fraud and putting Biden in. I defriended a few before just deleting my account. It may be 1860 again.

I made the mistake (YEARS ago) of going into a Chinese grocery store, when I was pregnant with my oldest.

It was all I could do to get out, quick, after they rolled the whole pig by, on a cart, in front of me.

I like Aldi and we do shop at our (very nice, new) Walmart.

And....FWIW....I never even saw any My Pillows at HEB. That would be the LAST place I would think to purchase one.

We have a few....all purchased on his My Pillow website....w/the RSBN promo code :)

Deleted FB. Deleted Twitter accounts (one was business). Deleted Google account. Use Duck Duck Go. Will delete Amazon when Prime membership expires this summer. Will get VPN.

Will leave p/t job with an organization that has “Christian” in the name, but the boss voted for pedojoe, and most of the staff support him. This summer when contract expires.

Thank you for your kind words. I’m glad my parents aren’t alive. My mother, who was never political would be heart broken at the idea any of her children would not be talking to each other. We were every thing to her.

There are some lynux phones. They will still have Google apps. There is a duck-duck-go ap that functions ike a browser on a
tab or phone.

Samsung is tightly bound to google. LG seems less so. It is also a much less expensive option. The features are not quite as nice but the phone works well for almost everything I use it for. The only issue I’ve had is that the ap to remote start my car doesn’t work on LG

Use Google against itself. Go-to youtube and look at a video on how to de google your phone.

Look at off brand tablets. I have one mad by Hyundai, like the car company. It seems to work just fine and was a hundreds cheaper than a Samsung or Apple

Not by choice. Twitter suspended me and stripped me of followings and followers. Still in Twitter jail for “aggressive retweeting “

I don’t feel I have anything to apologize for. It was her decision to cut me off because I supported ‘’that racist Trump’’.

Sorry if my post came across that you should apologize for anything.

When I said, “I feel your pain”, it was as a result of losing a sibling over radicalization to a liberal cult. Not that it was your fault.
