    I posted another comment but they are effective if strong enough. If their metrics crash today it will worry them. Later if it can be followed up by two days, three, a week. Its a message. There are some more targeted ones on the calendar to. Might have actually been more effective for the artist to do a remember one yesterday but then again its nice to do a solidarity one today. We shall see how much people care to send a message or not.

      You’re assuming anybody outside of Lemmy even knows about this. I haven’t seen any indication of that.

        I have, I received texts from friends and family about this protest that don’t even know what the fediverse is.

        I don’t hang on other social media but im on them. my condo has a facebook page and I am looking for work on linkedin. I have seen it on these. but I can’t speak the the popularity because I only use these things the minimum necessary although the fact I saw them at all maybe says something.

        I’m a cashier, I was pleasantly surprised when a customer mentioned the blackout to me on Monday. I didn’t think anyone was talking about it offline. I’m hoping with all my heart that work is dead slow today, but knowing how backwards the people in my town are, I know it’s a Pipedream.

        A co-worker’s parents asked her about it and my coworker asked if I heard about. I think it’s spread further than you think.

        The reality is that this blackout might not change the world, but it can send a message about how united people are.
