What about recommending these libre web sites in the side bar but still allowing proprietary ones?
I think it's a great idea. Authors only can find libre sites, when someone recommends them. I also think it's a good idea, when they are made aware of possible alternatives in the comments. Not everyone looks at the sidebar in detail or directly knows, what the links are useful for.
Or writing a bot that tries to resolve the Amazon product to a libre site equivalent and replies with a comment?
The flagship instance forbids bots, so I don't think that will be possible.
