Amazon's modifications mirror similar actions taken by other major companies after Trump’s election victory, including Meta, McDonald’s, and Walmart

I have one outstanding order that is already out for delivery. Once I get that, I’m closing my amazon account. I’m done. Buy nothing. Vote with your wallet. Edit: account is closed. get bent Bozos.

    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.

          What did you opt for? On-prem? Colocation? Some other vendor?

            I moved to DigitalOcean for now, I thought about selfhosting but I’m not in a great situation for that. They are cheaper, easier, and I’ve been mooching off of their tutorials for a decade. I had to dump a 27GB site that I haven’t touched in at least 10 years and am undecided between a phone notification app or SMS to replace SNS. DO has S3 storage and a CDN. The last bit is just one site that needs some email forwarding but it’s very low priority. $7 droplet and $5 S3 and no one looks at these sites but me so the bandwidth won’t cost me anything most of the time

      You learn how to hack multiple other services together, and you coordinate with multiple third parties + their different applications. There are no other feature complete competitors. The S in AWS is what defined it. The AW part doesn’t matter; anyone can do that with enough cash, effort, and skill. Welcome to the global monopoly, thank you for your support by using AWS.
