WecottNow

Anyone feel like mapping out all the companies, how they're related, and boycotting them all in a Pressure Campaign?

Deleted, thanks for showing me where this topic is going in this part of lemmy. I won't be discussing it any further.

It is profoundly sick and I've been dealing with it since they first incorporated it into their engines. It has a long history but I recall SEO changes immediately preceding the implementation and requirement of AI in their tools, then increasingly stringent requirements for users thereafter regarding the data they would take from them. Knowing that many people are probably boycotting google is primarily why I built my own Single Sign-On (SSO) for my product, so users would never have to share their data with Alpha/Google. My SSO is called AUSUM ID, I'm using it for all of my many in-development products. However I've run out of my own funds to continue trying to compete against large companies. I'm struggling to survive now, and fear the future of trying to compete with big companies.

It's user-governed. I have no say in anything... it's literally a tool that I put over 10 years of conceptual design into. lol. (with receipts). This took a LOT of time to build, and the rich would never fund it. Anyway, particularly on governance -- the boycotts are democratic -- the users themselves guide everything from the goal to the victory. It was very challenging to build.

Oh, well I'm talking about actual numbers. There's a lack of numeric data surrounding what pressure companies actually face from public backlash. My product would solve that if anyone were interested in putting together real campaigns against companies on my product.

Windows is better in compatibility with many commercial products, but the gap is quickly closing, and I think Microsoft is feeling the pressure.

Constructive dialogue can allow for new technology to succeed without stepping on too many toes. That's the important role social media plays in society-impacting inventions and plans.

It's hard to quantify the backlash against companies using online social media. That's why I created highly structured boycott social media app, so we can see how much people are costing these companies.
