@HistoPol @mina @Gargron @tchambers Great minds!

I'm thinking about putting together a guide on how to best achieve this on a server level, need to do some research.

Excellent. 🤗
We could emulate what the #WWF initiated with #EarthHour or #HoraDelPlaneta in 2007.* People jointly turn off the lights.

When many people(s) join in a visible action, it can become a beacon of hope.
Due to the fact, that #VisionImpairments impacts only a fraction of the population and, as @hspmauli, pointed out today, voluntary "temperance/abstinence is always the problem,"..

...I really ❤️ your idea to make it "automatic" for people, aka users.

This way, we "only" need to convince a "couple of thousands" instance #admins, instead of 15 million #Fedizens.
Brilliant 👏
Once we have a critical mass, we should involve the press.
This is a good thing on several fronts. 👍

@HistoPol @hspmauli @mina @Gargron @tchambers Thank you!

Yeah, I like your idea too, it's interesting to consider two approaches, one where people do this voluntarily to raise awareness, and one where everyone is sort of forced to get a small taste of the experience.

I still have to do a lot of research on this, but there will definitely be cases where an instance can't or is not interested in participating, so a combination of these ideas would work really well.
