I have, I received texts from friends and family about this protest that don't even know what the fediverse is.

I don't hang on other social media but im on them. my condo has a facebook page and I am looking for work on linkedin. I have seen it on these. but I can't speak the the popularity because I only use these things the minimum necessary although the fact I saw them at all maybe says something.

I'm a cashier, I was pleasantly surprised when a customer mentioned the blackout to me on Monday. I didn't think anyone was talking about it offline. I'm hoping with all my heart that work is dead slow today, but knowing how backwards the people in my town are, I know it's a Pipedream.

A co-worker's parents asked her about it and my coworker asked if I heard about. I think it's spread further than you think.

The reality is that this blackout might not change the world, but it can send a message about how united people are.

My boss's boss mentioned it to me last week. I would be astonished if he was on any social media. Then again, he surprises me pretty regularly.

It's a little bigger than that friend. It was on NPR this morning, FYI.

They mentioned it on NPR during the hourly news headlines yesterday.
