That's not really a demand though.
Protests can't just express general satisfaction.

What is the intent of the protest though? What would be the demands?
That doesn't mean that reprisals are a realistic possibility.
People manage all sorts of risks every day.
It's not a question of whether some infinitesimal risk exists, it's a question of whether removing names is an appropriate mitigation.
Obviously you think that it is, but I think most people value transparency and accountability. The elephant in the room here is that anonymity would hypothetically allow service members to act with impunity.
I'm sure you can see the risks in having service members escort detainees with no accountability for their actions.
It's not "too hard", it just completely unreasonable to expect people in general to self host as a way to "fight against tech billionaires".
I can assure you that most people would find the amount of effort required to learn, implement, and maintain self hosted services to be unpractical.
I don't "get you" because your argument is non-sensical.
You're saying that you want a legal system where everyone receives the same treatment but then in the same breath arguing that an exception should be made for Luigi because Trump hasn't been punished.
I'm not really sure what you're getting at?
I've been self hosting for many years. Including mission critical data for my consultancy.
It's a great hobby and I'd encourage anyone who's interested to get involved.
That said, for people looking for a way to "fight against tech billionaires", migrating their google drive to a self hosted nextcloud instance from a cold start with no experience in self hosting is inadvisable.
Is this a realistic possibility?
Why would a cartel kick that hornets nest?
The top level comment says it's not legal.
The comment you replied to is saying that's not true, and that hyperbole doesn't help.
Your comment says that legality is not morality.
Settle down, take a deep breath, and think about what you're saying.
It may not be "hard", yet it's just not practically possible for most people.
I dislike it.
Pretty sure my instance blocks it.
I believe it's counter productive and stifles engagement.
Yeah. They waited till sales had dropped off then pulled it.
Sure ok.
I guess the point that I'm making is that protests that do not have a clear and concise demand are not really going to send a message to the people who need to hear it.
