Don't cross the digital picket line: Guardian and Observer journalists are on strike today and tomorrow
Don't cross the digital picket line: Guardian and Observer journalists are on strike today and tomorrow
You're viewing a single thread.
Sorry, what does this mean?
Don't link to Observer or Guardian articles, only link to archive copies, or dont click on any Observer/Guardian links?
I'm assuming all of the above.
A digital picket line would apply to journalists working from home, not consumers. During the Miner's Strike, I don't remember anyone stopped using coal in solidarity.
That said, I have no objections to a boycott.
I think the main difference between miners strikes and this is that if you used coal for heating/cooking you didn't have a lot of alternative options other than just not heating your home.
Not really a viable option.
Still, I was just more curious whether this was a posting for awareness that it was happening or if "don't cross the picket line" was shared for solidarity.

Bit of both, really! I feel like using a business (in this case, clicking links) counts as crossing the picket, whether you (physically) work there or not.
Seconded.
Should we pin this post?
If other mods agree, then I think yes.
I concur, that's all three of us (don't worry about tom, they're inactive).
Done!
Weird, it didn't federate.
Classic Fediverse! Do we need to pin it separately on every instance?
Nah, I did it and that seems to have sent it through to everyone else. Just weird as I checked the logs and slrpnk seems to have not sent the pin activity to feddit.uk.
Can do.
Your assumption is correct!
