Good luck boycotting Stripe
I’m trying to find out a list of companies using stripe and I think it would be easier to list ones not using it… What I’m getting is basically any time I spend money online, and sometimes in person, they get a cut
Yeah pretty much. As a payment intermediary they’re actually really good. Top of class one could argue.
The executive’s politics aside, trying to boycott them means boycotting all their users. Good luck with that.
I have to pay a parking fine one through stripe. I would have happily boycott that.
Cool I’ll boycott them by moving into a cave underground.
I just glanced at this quickly, and saw Shopify Payments, which is actually run on Stripe
My sister in law was boycotting PayPal so she switched to Venmo.
Isn’t venmo owned by PayPal for the past 10y?
Yes that was what made it ironic.
So you’d rather use the platform run by treacherous robbers called PayPal ? So we can’t use Stripe (ok fine) & we can’t use PayPal, ok any suggestions ? Cuz I got one GNU-Taler
Why deposit your money with a central authority? The linked website points out that Taler adds instant confirmation to Bitcoin, but you can already get that using the Lightning Network - without custodial risk.
GNU-Taler is not a central authority though
Your wallet stores digital coins that are blindly signed by an exchange. The Taler Exchange keeps funds matching all unspent digital cash in a settlement account. (Source)
When you add dollars or bitcoins or whatever to Taler, you’re making a deposit.

Looks a bit insensitive but it’s not even expressing support for Israel’s war.
If Israel is a colonial project, any relationship fueling its economy is supporting the war. This includes touristic activities, investments, any kind of business.
The BDS movement worked against South Africa because it was totalizing and any chance to suffocate the Israeli colonial project must go through the same strategy.
Who is disagreeing with this? I want to hear your arguments.
I’d say the only “reasonable” objection would instead be on the pervasiveness of the conclusion. You can’t walk out your front door and remain consistent on that.
Right on, second time noticing you here today. You’re right again. When I replied the comment was at -2 and now it’s +9. I think several people have alt accounts for vote manipulation. Good thing votes don’t mean shit!
Edit- My only complaint with the app I use, Sync, is that it only shows total votes and not individual totals.
I use voyager which lets me toggle what I see (I actually switched to individual recently) and the comment I assume you’re talking about is at +19, -9 votes, and was about the kid who shot the home intruder
There are lots of down votes on both sides of that thread tho
(Also subtle voyager plug)
It was the comment about any economic support of Israel fueling the war from this very thread.
As in the one you replied to? That one is +9, -0 So people either changed votes or there was weird federation things going on
He expressed support by making an avoidable visit. Just like I would express support to the wife beater in my neighborhood by having lunch with him.
