re: #329 Anymouse 🌹

There have been one-day boycotts of Twitter before (Leslie Jones, &c). I predict no follow through, and Twitter knows that.

Folks who use Twitter aren’t willing to give it up, and seeing racism, death and rape threats, and such are the price of convenience.

I’ll believe it when I see an actual boycott (cancelling accounts, &c). Saying I won’t go to the store for one day in protest and going back the next is not a boycott. It’s not even a statement: They still get money.

I quit The Book of the Face. Deprivation of Clicks can kill. They track every possible statistic. Boycotts could become more powerful than ever. I know they are not like they used to be. I have been to the Museum of The Boycott (whatever they call it) in Greensboro, NC. It is a weapon of peace. It is worth believing in the possibilities.
