@ozoned I keep running into places using Amazon for shipping. (I shop on a specific business website and place my order. The package is delivered to my house by Amazon.)
It's frustrating and disappointing.

@ozoned libredirect does that to a small degree, redirecting from social media to their free counterparts or wrappers.
@ozoned That is a brilliant idea. Did a quick search an found #boycottbeacon:

Not precisely your idea but similar.
@HumanizeMobility@troet.cafe yeah seems close, but hasn't been updated in 10 months. Wonder if it's still active.
@ozoned try pihole and some redirects #zone transfer #ad blocker #web filter #Drollodex
@ozoned so you want me to be droll about it? it is my proposed name for you netfiltering app - think of it as a choose your own adventure game or something #advices #drollodex
@gary_alderson@infosec.exchange Oh got you. Interesting. IDK if ad filtering would work. I just want like a popup, like those annoying cookie pop ups, but it's from a past you reminding you not to give in to the website you're at.
@ozoned ok yeah that is true to your original vision - probably some javascript dev would have little issue with that - run it as a browser extension and you can add on after you get basic functionality sorted #fourier transforms #crowd sourced best alternatives #hosts #csrf #greasemonkey

@teresa_athome@mastodon.online right?!? I want to avoid Amazon, but there are companies now that ONLY ship through Amazon. How can we support each other in quitting? How do we all work together to ditch the Big Tech?
We have ad blockers yes, but what if you had an app that just blocked things. You could also clearly show someone when a website breaks that yes, Google, Facebook, Amazon, are EVERYWHERE.
Probably easier said than done though as there's so many servers out there. IDK how you'd block it all. Something like CBS or Netflix shouldn't be too difficult.
@ozoned It would be helpful to have all corporate relationships called out without needing to go down a rabbit hole looking for them.
@teresa_athome@mastodon.online I've thought about an internet nutrition label. That kind of thing would be helpful as well. :-
