And also quit X
Quit Digital Ocean
Quit Persona
Another one where I’m just following my arbitrary naming convention for the series. More like “avoid Persona (if possible)” or “watch out for Persona,” I guess
Quit 1Password
Potentially, unless they change course—which I’m really, really hoping they will as a longtime user of well over a decade
Quit Microsoft
If possible
Quit Meta
Primarily Facebook and Instagram (in this collection). See also everything related to Meta AI, Meta AI Glasses, and Mark Zuckerberg. AI-related: semble.so/profile/aiueo.ooo/collections…
Quit Rakuten 楽天
Or some of the reasons why I’m trying
Quit Omarchy (DHH)
Moving these into their own collection so that I don’t have to add the articles to every relevant collection. Ideally we should avoid all of the companies/CEOs financing them, but unfortunately that’s a lot Search terms: David Heinemeier Hansson, Omacom Foundation, 37signals
Quit GMO
Search terms: GMOインターネットグループ株式会社, GMO Internet Group, Inc., お名前.com, Lolipop!, ロリポップ！, MuuMuu Domain, ムームードメイン, Suzuri, minne, etc.
Quit Shopify
Quit X
I mostly still call them Twitter but am open to calling them “X” in clearly pejorative contexts. See also everything related to Grok, DOGE (especially what they did to USAID and the consequences thereof), and Elon Musk. AI-related: semble.so/profile/aiueo.ooo/collections…
Quit Amazon
See also the demise of Washington Post and Jeff Bezos
Quit Big Tech
Includes articles about getting off US tech, although personally I’m fine with US tech as long as I think they have good privacy/principles. Mostly excluding specifically AI-related articles, which will go in AI-related collections: semble.so/profile/aiueo.ooo/collections… See also collections for specific companies
Quit Substack
I’m also trying not to add Substack links on Semble
Quit ChatGPT
Including anything else by OpenAI, but mainly ChatGPT. See also semble.so/profile/aiueo.ooo/collections… and all the Persona-related stuff
Quit Google
AI-related: semble.so/profile/aiueo.ooo/collections…
Quit* W Social
* Not so much “quit” as “you probably shouldn’t move to/sign up for” (just following my naming convention in this “series”). To be clear, I think it’s (probably) totally fine that it exists as an option (unless the potential security concerns turn out to be relevant), but personally I would advise against choosing that option based on what I’m learning. I’m sure it’s a good choice for some people, just probably not anyone I know
Quit BeReal
Or: Japanese grown-ups (who are around even remotely sensitive information) should quit BeReal, apparently, because who is even on BeReal any more anywhere else
Quit Palantir
Except I’m not sure how we can “quit Palantir” as private citizens
