Lol, this is the first one that I'm mildly inconvenienced by participating in. Wheel of Time S3 comes out somewhere in there doesn't it?

I can wait.

I already started my boycott last month.

I cancelled my prime membership. I'm going to look around for alternatives before I delete my account which I more than likely will be doing at this point.

I'm an idiot, I thought this was a March 😂

But this is still super not effective. How do people think this affects anything. It also is kind of ick too. If you have the energy and time you organize this, why not just shit post for a week instead. You'll get more mileage. The most effective thing is spreading a message. I have no idea what refusing to buy things for a day will do. You need to spread a message so this action can be sustain. It needs to be a new Zeitgeist. This "do this for a day" stuff acts more like a pressure relief. Like we all watch the day come and go and nothing changes then we go back to our lives. Instead, make content and posted outside our echo chambers at a level that moderation can't sustain. This is what the Republicans did. Get your message to the faces of people who fence sit
