It can be hard at times to learn what values certain companies support. So a women-led tech startup from Wisconsin created a great resource that allows you to do just that, named Goods Unite Us which provides a convenient and easy background check on each american-based company to see what kind of political contribution they may make towards political parties.

    One nitpick with this: This only applies to the US.

    I get that a large percentage of Lemmy (and Reddit, earlier on) are from the US, but it bugs me that things like this default to being US-centric without mentioning it.

    Awesome initiative, nonetheless!

      I think you missed something lol

      Edit: also this isn’t only us-centric as these companies often operate internationally. So if non-Americans dislike certain politicians, they can also participate in the boycott of their party.

      Such as Bahamas with Desantis or Canada with Donald Trump.
