When the effort or sacrifice correlates with Lemmy hobbies:
it’s the tiniest sacrifice, simply use a Fairphone
For people good at other things:
I updated my Fairphone and now it’s bricked
There’s a million different unilateral sacrifices expected of us, and not everybody is good at the same stuff. The issue raised is with testing for unilateral sacrifice when the person is suggesting much more effective collective action. All those tiny sacrifices will simply exhaust you to little effect.
I went fairphone first because yeah, fediverse people.
buy refurbished, be okay with a shitty old phone for years etc.
If this is too exhausting for one of the most pampered groups of people in human history, God help us.
write letters demanding they do better.
Who could ever be asked to do such a monumental rask?
the person is suggesting much more effective collective action
Oh yay, this person is online bravely suggesting other people take serious steps.
In a society where we lived anywhere close to the morals we pretend to have, these sweatshop clothes and phones that children lose limbs for would be marks of shame. But God forbid we, who have had it better than 99% of everyone who came before us, get tired.
Are you bolding other to imply that the person making the suggestion won’t participate in collective action as well? Unilaterally you’ll exhaust yourself and accomplish a lot of nothing. You’ll get a lot more done with other people on your side.

No, you miss the point entirely.
The person is usually demanding everyone else follow that person’s own decision of which tiny sacrifice everyone else must follow.
