Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

How about pooling money together and starting a competing co-op?

[–] stickly@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

I agree! So let's all stop spending today to get people on board and save a few bucks, then use that momentum to pool that money the next day.

People seem to dislike this protest because inaction is seen as ineffective and opposed to active protest. Its "too easy", which puts a bad taste in their mouth.

But on the other hand:

its dead easy
has no barrier to entry
has no regressive downside on those unable to spend
even partial participation can add up
is simple to communicate and organize
doing it for one day makes it easy to see how you could do it for longer. The hardest part of any diet is when you just start out

If anything, I see putting the economic brakes on as allowing for more leverage and room to organize. If work is slow maybe you have more time to attend that protest; maybe you're not in a rush to get back to the shop if it's closed early.
