How about an anti-Honey plug in that reminds you not to order when you’re trying to check out.
Great Idea.
Perhaps call it something like:
BeeOff/BuzzOff: A play on "bee/buzz" similar to Honey, but with a focus on avoiding (off) certain products.
BoycottBee: Directly stating its purpose as a boycott tool.
Avoidify: Emphasizes the idea of avoiding certain products or brands.
BlanketBan: Suggests a comprehensive avoidance or ban.
NectarNone: Opposite of honey nectar, focusing on avoiding products.
ProtestPal: A friendly companion for those who want to make a statement by boycotting certain products.
SentryShop: Acts as a guardian or sentry while shopping, warning against certain products.
Ethico: Emphasizes ethical consumption by avoiding certain brands or products.
NoGo: Simple and direct, signaling products to avoid.
BlockBuy: Directly blocks purchases of unwanted products.
SanctionShop: Implies a personal sanction or restriction on certain products.
ProtestPulse: A tool that keeps the pulse of your protest or boycott efforts.
Avoida: A playful name emphasizing avoidance.
EDIT: I wonder, alongside a potential plug-in, what if someone created a federated platform or website that tracked the protests, boycotts, etc.?
It would allow Fediverse users to be able to follow the protests/boycotts.
You had me at BuzzOff!
You're hired!
