I've had fellow business owners say to me, 'Don't make business decisions based on feelings' – as though business and morality exist on separate planes of existence.
I'm calling on #Shopify to oust Tobi Lütke. If you're a small business owner, will you join me?
I've spent the last two weeks trying to find a new home for my business. Unfortunately, Shopify's the market leader for a reason. Their platform is the best.
But staying with them is supporting their hate. Opposing fascism isn't a 'feeling'; it's the right thing to do.

I get it. I do. And I fully agree with encouraging business owners to move. But, please be aware that moving is complicated, difficult, and expensive. Please give shop owners some grace if they can’t move immediately. We didn't ask Lütke to behave like this.
I'm paid up for another 6 months. I can't just move my small business to another host. And I'm not even sure which host I could move it to. FourthWall is an option … but they're actually based in the US. And I'm trying not to buy American if I can avoid it. I don't know what the right thing is.
@StarkRG
Right? Also, the notion that opposing fascism is a feeling.
‘I’m just really emotional right now. Maybe when I calm down, I’ll be a bit more logical. Then I’ll realise it’s better to stay silent about fascism.’
