My Netflix membership is 10 years old. I’ve cancelled it yesterday. Also my prime membership.
Actually banning Coca Cola would probably mean a lot less people becoming sick and obese
This would help the American people fight the Oligarchs. Godspeed, friends.
boycott us, please please please please
Fuck you Orange Clown !
Our family Netflix subscription ran for over 10 years and yesterday I canceled it. I also canceled my subscriptions for discord, chatGPT, claude and dropbox. BOYCOTT U.S. SOFTWARE
Cancelled a bunch of subscriptions after trump support for Ukraine. Seems like the only language americans understand is 💸
Good, fuck the USA and it’s garbage products. It’d be harder to do if they weren’t shit now, but perpetually cutting quality is basically the USA’s motto. Now they are experiencing it in the government.
Ding, dong, the reich is dead!
Drag is very much looking forward to singing this.
can you imagine if the movement that we are experiencing in canada takes place all over europe? that would be huge
Support your local breweries and buy their sodas and not coca cola <3 I do this and ngl Oettinger cola-mix and Riegele Spezi are amazing
it is not hard to do if it’s actually better. Spezi 🥰
Or just stop taking surgary junks
Some people want them. Dont live on just water like me. So better them drinking local things
I mean, there’s way more selection than just water that is still healthy.
I think the point is, go even further and stop. Of course they want it, those who buy it. Once I stopped drinking sugar drinks, they started tasting really bad when I tried them once in a while. Started preferring natural juices instead. Love my juices. Still sugary, but less processed.
We will play with squirrels instead of video games! And wear bedsheets instead of clothing!
Uhhh… I don’t think I will
Apfel Schorle is much better than a Coke anyway
If you want to be that way: tap water is way better
Literally the only thing I miss about living in a Germanic country lmao
Absolutely nothing else? :O
Wdym? We have Apfelschorle
That’s my point, I don’t live in a Germanic country anymore and Apfelschorle (Rhabarbershorle too) is the only thing I miss
But you can get apple juice and sparkling water, right?
That’s kinda genius, I must try next time
¿🤨?
Ooooh. I understood it that you are in a germanic country and miss these things lol
As a mexican I can say that this will be really hard, mexicans love so much Coke btw we have popular alternatives like red cola, but I’ve only seen masons consume that product
it won’t be hard when you understand that USA is selling you on their diseased junk just to profit off of you. We need to wake up to the fact that they are not selling us good products. They are selling us JUNK with no government oversight that is now full of GOD KNOWS WHAT just to keep it cheap, and turn a profit at the expense of your health and hard earned money.
Trouble with that in the UK is Coca-cola is the only soft drink really that hasn’t bowed to the sugar tax and changed their recipe to be full of artificial sweeteners.
I absolutely can’t stand the taste of these sweeteners and some even make me feel kinda of bad after drinking them.
It hasn’t? When I was in Manchester in January, anything except the cans had a bunch of artificial sweeteners in it, in order to lower the sugar content. I don’t know if the cans are a small enough size to skirt the tax, or just not be worth raising the price over, but bottles of regular Coke definitely had artificial sweeteners in them.
Idk if it has even spread to England but when I lived in Scotland I only ever bought Irn-Bru
Sorry to tell you but irn bru went from god tier to pour down the toilet tier.
They did try to pull it back with 1911 version but it’s nowhere as good as it was before the sugar tax and completely uncarbonated and priced like it’s liquid gold.
Guess you found a market hole :)
To be fair the sugar tax is so ridiculously harsh there is nobody but Coca Cola who hasn’t made their drinks taste horrible instead.
This is the time for the Italian MoleCola to shine!
Is it coca cola with extra hair?
And so: Hello Lemmy! Here I am! Left ‘socials’ like reddit, dropped hotmail and google accounts … i’ts not much but it’s start
Welcome, new one!
Welcome!
Welcome - just did the same myself or still in the transition of it. Soaking up so much information about how to take data / information in my own hands again.
Welcome! :D
Here’s to hoping trump tariff war makes those stupid American pick-up trucks a lot more expensive to buy in EU. I hope the douchebags that bought them before have to pay way higher prices for parts now.
Not to mention Tesla.
While tens of thousands of people have joined Facebook groups in Sweden and Denmark calling for no longer buying American, Norwegian company Haltbakk Bunkers has announced that it will stop supplying US military vessels with fuel.
This first US company they (and everyone) needs to boycott is Meta.
I’m in Canada and Facebook is huge for my business. We get more bang out of a free social media post than paying for advertisements anywhere.
I fricking HATE IT.
On a personal level, I almost never use facebook. I refuse to put it on my phone and really only use it not to post stuff for the business - which I do through a 3rd party social media app.
FB is huge in Canada for personal stuff too, me and my friends do not post meal pic or vacation or things like this, but damn marketplace and some hobbies group are strong there. Just the “Made in Canada” FB group grew from 50’000 members to 1.1 million in less than a month.
FB can be easily replaced with Lemmy, it’s just a question of age/generation I guess
no not really, its a totally different thing. you cant follow people here, nobody here uses their real name, and you can’t limit visibility of content to just friends. marketplace is also not a thing, and that feature is not just yet another community
Pretty sure you can follow people on mbin.
I wish Friendica would take off more.
I said that a Facebook group is like a Lemmy community, not that Lemmy can replace Facebook. You got friendica for that (never used it though) For marketplace replacement, Flohmarkt is coming
FB can be easily replaced with Lemmy
Check below…
you did. check above
Lemmy is more an alternative to reddit. Friendica is the alternative to FB from the fediverse
Unsure about that in terms of business pages but I suppose you can if you try hard enough: side bar for standard info, posts for events and communication. The only thing it lacks is the followers portion that acts as soft advertisement, e.g. if your friend follows something, you can see it.
Aren’t there actually tiktok alternatives I’m the Fediverse, rather than suggesting something that’s use case is different?
Edit: I meant to say Facebook alternatives…
Loops, but it’s still almost alpha.
I meant FB groups, they are jusr like Lemmy communities: it’s a question of a topic + a group of people
“All it takes for evil to succeed, is good people to say, “it’s just business.”” - Janet Leahy, Michael Reisz
Don’t feel bad for using it for your business.
As you said, a free post is better than paid ads somewhere else. And you don’t use it personally, that’s the great part. Moreover, you use lemmy. Kudos to you
Meta is bad although I would argue that X and Tesla are worse.
Norway walked that back.
Norway says it will keep supplying fuel to US navy after company calls for boycott
It was a private company that decided not to provide their refueling services to the American Navy, not the Norwegian government. What the government is saying is that they will not be not doing the same that Haltbakk Bunkers is doing. But this company stays firm. The practical effects will probably be minimal, since they are an important but rather small actor in the sector. But as a Norwegian, I am proud of them! (And not so much of my government).
It’s gas the way they used the word ‘shitshow’ in their press release.
Really awesome what Haltbakk Bunkers is doing! Proud of dutch pension fund ABP selling all their tesla stock
Fucking cowards. “Free world” my ass
Absolutely! Remove all meta apps and close your accounts. Zuck is a big suckup to Trump and his software collects and sells your data as if there is no tomorrow
That’s true, but first we need to reach enough people to get the movement going. In the meantime they should just turn on their adblockers.
Add Google to that.
