Ok, but we have to start somewhere, don’t we? This is the same type of thing like all the awareness campaigns. The effectiveness can’t be measured that easily and societal change is slow. Most people would love if things changed over night and tomorrow brought a new, better world.
How long did workers fight for basic rights? How long did people fight against monarchies and absolutists in favor of democracies?
Blizzard was the holy grail of gaming up until the rumors started floating around. Then came the evidence and the boycotts. Most of their clients have no interest in gaming news and heard just the hyper around Blizzard games (just like Bethesda). Spread the word as far as you can to reach those people and change will follow.
The student protests you mentioned started fairly recently compared to the opression and brain-washing that have been going on for decades. It takes idealists and public pressure, and not careere politicians to change society. If just a few of those see a growing mass which they can ride to secure their position, they sure will at least bring some positive action.
We can disagree on the methods used, but not on the goal. You are free to fight the same battles the way you see fit. Don’t forget that most of the traffic to Lemmy came from the Reddit boycott - myself included. I stayed and so did many others. Even if it is just a small dent in Reddit’s profits. - Comment on YSK about Changing your Profile Picture to Clippy 2 weeks ago:
There is absolutely ZERO need for such hostility. If you disagree, do so respectively or if you for whatever reason can’t, just downvote and move on.

I don’t see it just as a performance, but rather a way to find like-minded peopel and build a community that will eventually get things rolling in the right direction. Every movement needs some kind of criical mass to achieve something and a call to action -no matter how miniscule and benign - is a good way of setting things into motion.

The target audience are we, the tech literate people who give a damn. It’s then on us to propagate it further to those who are affected, but unaware. Build a critical mass and things will get rolling.

Not to impress, but to push away so they don’t witness the embaressment or don’t start making fun of them. Remeber, offense is the best defense.

Not just that, but the steps seem unreasonably tall and get shorter in the distance.

There was a thread on r/SamHarris (maybe 2 years ago) where some people without inner monologue answered questions. It was interesting to read.

Bumble did chenge that. Now the woman decides who has to start the convo once they match. You can also set some prompts for the other person to reply to.

In this case, the top post responded to the embeded post, which is a resposne to another smaller embeded post. You would find the top post and read the smallest embeded post and walk you way back up. After that you read everything top to bottom as usual.
