Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Taking the first steps to leave Amazon entirely right now. I am never ordering anything from them again.

How do I leave AWS?

I use S3, EC2, SNS (or whatever they call it now), email, cloudfront

I want the same fast servers and CDN. I can probably pay someone else for email and sms services

Not sure if DigitalOcean stacks up in similar ways or not. Also not sure what their politics are.

I'd be curious about options as well.

I don't think these jerks quite understand they ain't gonna shove black folks to the back of the bus again. Of course they wont start by trying that but its on their mind.

Another reason to buy things directly from the manufacturer rather then from Amazon. It's generally cheaper as well.

Following in the footsteps of Elon.

It is a shame it is always the same companies. I can only boycott them once.

God I hate sites that instantly play video ads. Like if I want my phoneplan fast data going to that. Wanted to read. Did not.

They have a lot of government contracts for AWS. There's a reason he's kissing Trumps ass. I'm not really sure why he and the rest of them are still involved with the companies at all and not just fucking off with their millions. I'd be somewhere else not dealing with political bullshit.

The cooperation of capital and government is an integral part of fascist regimes. They where never your friends and have no ideology beyond their profits by any means.

Now will people leave Twitch? What about companies that contract with AWS?
