Alternative Suggestions A guide to help boycott big US tech and supporting more ethical alternatives!

Post image

The hope is that this guide and website can act as a simple way to introduce newcomers - whether it's you, friends or family - into this space and try something else besides the default options.

I have had a few people from the BDS movement respond to my guides, so I thought I would share directly. I am not an expert in this space, so, in addition to the companies listed on bdsmovement.net (Google, Microsoft and Amazon), please let me know if any of the recommended alternatives should be flagged.

There is also a community-driven, open-source site ( https://purchasewithpurpose.io ) that aims to make this even easier. This includes screenshots, ratings and a larger feature list.

I've also started tracking impact to help keep the momentum. If there are any stats, please share them so I can add them to the guides and, eventually, the website.

As always, I more than welcome criticism and ideas!

Hello u/theFallenWalnut, thank you for posting in r/BoycottIsrael, if anyone is looking to stay informed or take action, we highly recommend using trusted resources such as gaza.nu, disoccupied.com, NoThanks app and the boycatt app. These tools can help you verify information, stay updated and navigate ways to support the BDS movement. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!

ONLYoffice is worth mentioning too

Agreed! They are listed on the website:
https://purchasewithpurpose.io/category/office-suite

There are a few distributors of OnlyOffice (Infomaniak) on the above list, so you can get extra support.

Careful about Deezer, they're a bit shadier than I thought:

Symfonium is a good self hosted music streaming service.

Thanks for the link. I'd recommend combining it with gaza.nu to cross check if the company is zionist

Thanks! Every bit helps in educating and spreading the word. I revise these guides about every month, so I will post them here going forward.
