"post about it in a local artist community" is not exactly "talk about it with their friends."

It's bullying.

I consider a boycott threat a non-violent threat; legal but an exercise of power that has moral dimensions.


Imagine if it said "post about it on Hacker News". That's not bullying


It's informing people that there is something a business is doing that they might not approve of and they might want to change their behaviour accordingly.


In the same way that sealioning is just a debate strategy.
