    I don’t get this plan.

    Even if people don’t shop one day, they will buy postponed items next day.

    You are organizing the wrong thing, you need to build a platform and a troll farm.

      As someone said in a different thread, it’s a first step in gauging support for a broader effort. It gives a sense of how effective getting the message out is, and how many people join on.

        Well, seeing as I only found about this yesterday night, I’d say getting the message out hasn’t been very effective…

        I think it’s been counter productive in that regard.

        Anyone who put any effort in on the 28th will feel disheartened because nothing was achieved.

          It really was not much effort. And since we’re all sharing anecdotal perspectives, I saw news about this weeks ago on here on lemmy, heard other people participating irl and find encouragement in tangible activities that could make a real impact over time. There are so few (by design) to begin with. Enough hate, if you have another idea consider yourself encouraged to go out and do a thing you find more meaningful. Otherwise, you’re just contributing to the problem at hand.

        There is no way for anyone to gauge this. Retailers won’t release this data
