    Speaking of, I am a little familiar with this group https://generalstrikeus.com/

    I don’t see it discussed much in fediverse channels, and I don’t really know why. Curious to hear what people think of them. But they’re the only group pushing for a general strike that I can think of off the top of my head.

      I don’t like having to share my phone number, which is why I haven’t signed up. Or that every social is the typical - discord, bluesky, youtube, instagram.

      I’m all for the idea, but they give me big privacy worries.

        Same. I looked at it but as soon as it wanted all that contact info I dipped. I already get “omg! send us money to craft these strongly worded letters in opposition!” texts. I don’t want more of them nor a centralized location someone can use to find those who support the idea of a general strike.

        If it happens, people will talk about it and it’ll pick up steam like domino’s falling!
