has a petition ever changed anything? all the examples i see just coincide with wider attention to the issue, signed or not
@maloki maybe? personally i wouldn't be inclined to give a petition more reach than general info about the topic, and I feel like petitions can lay the trap of "i signed, so i helped, so i don't have to do anything else"
@f0x I guess I think that's plenty in some cases, but I might be wrong.
@maloki yeah, maybe it also helps with staying/spreading awareness without getting totally hopeless
@f0x
Depends on how you feel about Tinkerbell.
@Anarkat what happened with Tinkerbell lol
@f0x
The Tinkerbell effect: the more people believe something is true, the more it becomes true.
Example: the US dollar is a stable currency
@f0x I think the petitions helps with the WIDER attention?
