How many people are boycotting these US products which specifically includes not using iPhones, Macs, Android and Windows devices?
Out of that, how many are going to bother to choose to sign up to a Mastodon instance that is only hosted in Canada and use it for more than a year? My guess is a very small number of people.
Realistically they don't care and the boycott won't last and the majority are still more likely to sign up to either Threads or BlueSky than to even consider Mastodon.
- selykg 2y agoBoycotts can take on different levels. I'd personally say that if you already own an iPhone, Android phone, Mac or PC, you've already given them your money, but you can absolutely refuse to give more the next time around and buy something from another manufacturer that's not US based. But it doesn't make sense to just throw out your perfectly fine $1000+ device just to "stick it to the man."
