Ah, a change.org petition . I eagerly await the sweeping improvements to life abroad.

[–] FuryMaker@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Has any petition here ever actually lead to any change?

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Not going to sign it, too. Change.org is part of the problem, and not of the solution.

Just a casual bystander with no clue what's going on... why's change.org a problem?

Edit: ok, read more posts, understand now

I couldn't find any posts talking about it, what's wrong with it?

It's like waving a disapproving finger at a brick wall, has always been my criticism.

Protests shouldn't be so easily tossed in a bin. If you aren't a problem, then no one has to listen to your message.

Petitions in Europe are required to be discussed when they reach a certain threshold. The platform does not matter.

even if they do nothing about the petition, it still directly shows that people care about the issue. Its just one of the things that ever so slightly could tip the scales in right direction. But yes, if people think that its all done and good by signing the petition and nobody doing anything else, you might as well yell in the wind about it. But there could be people with a bit more influence that want to do this too. Even the surveys dont get information from every single person of the populace so having many signs could help even if they dont have to immidiately put it on effect.
