93Taking it to Twitter would be more effective.– user437611Commented Sep 30, 2019 at 16:28

8@Blue The only platform I really use outside of SE is Facebook, and considering how locked down I have that, I don't see that as a very successful way to make an impact. I am fully in support of someone else taking this outside SE, but I don't have a means of doing that effectively myself.– David KCommented Sep 30, 2019 at 16:30

53Well, while I agree with you on the topic, I really cannot disagree with Tim about the fact that they don't need to host their own protest website.– nvoigtCommented Sep 30, 2019 at 19:11

7@nvoigt Honestly, even though I don't like it, I can understand why it was removed. That's part of why I haven't been asking to have it undeleted or tried to repost it in another form (though ArtOfCode kind of took care of that for me). I know it was pushing the limits, and I don't want to get banned and therefore kicked out of the conversation.– David KCommented Oct 1, 2019 at 13:50

3@πάνταῥεῖ There's nothing in your profile of the kind, did it get removed?– MastCommented Oct 2, 2019 at 11:35

@Mast Yes I removed it. Gave up :( ...– πάντα ῥεῖCommented Oct 2, 2019 at 15:46

@πάνταῥεῖ Gave up after less than a day? I think you have your expectations too high for how quickly this will be resolved.– David KCommented Oct 2, 2019 at 16:03

3@DavidK I gave up because I was about getting in trouble with some mods. I don't want more accounts getting suspended by now.– πάντα ῥεῖCommented Oct 2, 2019 at 16:07

@Blue: some Twitter posts on "StackOverflow strike". Other good places are Reddit, Medium etc. You can crosslink from Twitter to noteworthy SO posts.– smciCommented Oct 5, 2019 at 1:15

Another thought would be to add "on strike" to the end of your username. It is something very visible and that I think SE would be loath to mass change user names on people's accounts.– Stephen M -on strike-Commented Oct 11, 2019 at 19:08

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
