RE: https://mstdn.ca/@senanthic/116999489497441305 If you still have a #Shopify store, this is your signal to maybe reconsider that… Their CEO recently said wealthy people should have more influential voting power. Get out. All the way out, bro.

    @britt@mstdn.games @senanthic@mstdn.ca I would love it if online stores would drop them. I do my best to avoid shitty companies but it’s hard when good companies go through a shitty one.

    @britt@mstdn.games He came out not too long ago as anti-labour. Remember the Canada Post strike? It just keeps getting worse.

    @britt@mstdn.games And it's not like their political power isn't *already* ridiculously out-sized.

    @britt@mstdn.games My little business had an all-in-one store from one of their competitors, very similar to shopify. The cost was $3600 per year and I imagine they would charge the same. I recently learned how to run a VPS and then to self host the store on open source Magento 2. At a server cost of about $200 per year. And with a better software. You can get away from them! Now teaching a friend who actually still is on Shopify.

    @britt@mstdn.games We should recommend he try #Russia. #Oligarchs have much more power than in the USA. But that's obviously changing also. If the mid-term election don't hand Congress over to the #Democrats, then the #oligarchy is almost ensured. And the CEO will have his wish.
