By removing your individuality from your user name, you turn yourself into an undistinguishable swarm. The only thing you achieve is that it is harder to see how many folks are "in" that movement. | |

| Oct 21, 2019 at 14:18 | comment | added | President James K. Polk | At a shareholder level, profit and growth (i.e., future profit) is all they are looking at. The company's actions mostly flow from that. And their revenue plans are company secrets, so you will be forced to make educated guesses based on company actions. In order to effectuate pressure, you need to put this revenue at risk. But it can be hard because you don't know their plan. For example, most USA TV news channels feature editing designed to reinforce the beliefs of either the left or the right. It may be the SO Inc. foray into politics is not an accident. | |

| Oct 21, 2019 at 7:35 | comment | added | Eric Duminil | @HugoZink I think many users are addicted to the intellectual challenges that can be found in this site. They want to participate, they want to keep teaching and learning with random strangers all over the world. All it takes is to stop putting hurdles for their free contribution and they ll be happy to resume as if nothing happened. | |
| Oct 21, 2019 at 7:30 | comment | added | user612952 | "No community" means you have a blank slate. What SE has today is something worse than merely a blank slate. They will never get those users back. | |
| Oct 21, 2019 at 7:28 | comment | added | Eric Duminil | @HugoZink let's hope not. I mean, a long time ago, there was no StackOverflow community at all. It might take a long time to heal but I don't think anything is broken beyond repair, yet. | |

| Oct 20, 2019 at 16:07 | comment | added | einpoklum | @EricDuminil: I don't think most people interpret the term "non-constructive" as "not trolling", I'd consider rephrasing the former into the latter. Also - Helmar is mistaken, in that the company name is still Stack Exchange Inc. | |

| Oct 20, 2019 at 14:44 | comment | added | Eric Duminil | @pacmaninbw: General goal would be to show more respect to the community and to try to work with community. In particular, reinstate Monica (top priority IMHO), stop fake apologies, stop forcing a useless CoC down our throat, stop illegally changing licenses. But really, any sign that the higher ups really care about the community would be a good first step. | |
| Oct 20, 2019 at 14:39 | comment | added | pacmaninbw | What is the actual goal, the goal section with the exception of getting a moderator reinstated seems to be methods to achieve pressure on SE Inc? Why should we apply pressure? | |
| Oct 20, 2019 at 14:21 | comment | added | Eric Duminil | @Obscerno: It looks good and might be worth a try. Feel free to write an answer, even if it's just a sentence and link to your previous answer. | |
| Oct 20, 2019 at 14:18 | comment | added | Obscerno | I suggested in an answer elsewhere that we could collectively extend one last olive branch with a time limit, where we actually kind of ease up and make moderation easier for the mods who are left. The pressure would come from the time limit. Didn't pick up much traction, either from lack of interest or visibility: meta.stackexchange.com/a/335772/630222 | |
| Oct 20, 2019 at 13:53 | comment | added | collapsar | @EricDuminil Right, never underestimate hive creativity. I'd be happy to be proven wrong in my pessimism. | |
| Oct 20, 2019 at 13:50 | comment | added | Eric Duminil | @collapsar: That's also the conclusion I came to. :-/ Still, I thought it was worth a try to at least ask this question and see if a creative mind finds any constructive way. | |
| Oct 20, 2019 at 13:46 | comment | added | collapsar | Imho there is no effective way to exert pressure. The community has no leverage against the company - they already control all content (which would include avatars sporting telltale references), and their avowed focus is on new users vs existing user base. A mod diaspora mostly harms the community. The Teams product is aimed at corporate clients, circumventing a community boycott. As SE is a Q&A site, the issues wouldn't be the prime concern of most users, if only for a lack of awareness - in-site means to increase that are controlled by SE. A new Q&A site may help but that takes time. | |
| Oct 20, 2019 at 13:44 | comment | added | Eric Duminil | @Mari-LouA: Here are some avatars I found on meta: 1 2 3 I suppose I'll use the second one, which you proposed. | |

| Oct 20, 2019 at 9:41 | comment | added | wimh | Instead of changing the full avatar, it would also be possible to add a small support ribbon to the avatar, which you might know from the pink breast cancer awareness ribbon. There are many more examples on twibbon.com. It is a little more subtle, but still shows the point. But someone needs to design such a ribbon. | |

If a significant portion of the 1723 people who downvoted the FAQ (as an example of people upset with the current situation) changed their avatars, then the typical new/occasional user will see a reminder of the situation any time they read a Q/A from any of those users. That may do more for publicity among new/occasional users than anything else, which could snowball into major effects on all parts of SE. Or may just get ignored. We'll see. | |

What about waiting for their reaction next week? I don't like stirring up the mud much. The decent and professional way to react if your concerns are not heard is to simply walk away and nothing more. No more pressure is needed. | |
