This community usually discusses consumer rights, but nobody is discussing this initiative. Is it maybe cuz Lemmy's majority ain't American?

What motivated the choice of Clippy as a symbol? Meme value?

    Kinda, but also that Clippy (real name Clippit, as it happens) was included as a feature that was genuinely intended to be helpful. Like, that's not to say it was successful, or appreciated, but that it came from a time when you could buy a product in the expectation that you'd own it, you could keep it and it'd work for you, not for someone else.
