One days starvation won't even show up their monthly analytics

Not to be a mood killer, but most of us are here because we didn't like what Reddit was turning it to. Especially and personally since 2023 where they started charging for their API use. This was not a 24 hour pause, or insignificant symbolic action. This is people actively leaving the platform. Yet their active user count has risen ever since

    Reddit is not actually in scope for the strike (more detail here https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/collectiveaction.html#attention-strike ) but i see what you mean.

    Sure, people in this community will be way beyond this. The idea is to share it with your friends and family who are not there yet. I'll tell Take Back Big Tech that the next strike would need to be much more significant. This one is supposed to get people used to the idea, and to try alternatives.
