The "Blackout the System" movement is banking on mass participation in a week-long economic boycott to force a response from policymakers and corporations
There’s been talk of it on other social media for quite a long time, all over TikTok and even my friends still on Twitter and insta have asked about it. You might be right but I also don’t think these kind of movements have targeted the fediverse platforms
I was thinking more about news coverage, but I guess I should have realized they would never want to cover something like this because the billionaire owned media wouldn’t want people to know about it.
Oh yeah it won’t get any play like that, the Seattle Times has a piece on it but even if it’s really successful I wouldn’t expect MSNBC to cover it, Fox might if they can spin it as the godless lefts war on Christmas but they also risk spreading the word that way.
Considering this is literally the first time I’m even hearing of this I’m going to guess this isn’t going to be very impactful :/

Not impactful? Not with that attitude. Get on board friend.
