A boycott is refusing to buy something. I've already bought my membership, so I don't think boycott is accurate.
A strike is to refuse to work. Admittedly it's not paid work, but if the labour is volunteer it's still strike, isn't it? Or is there another word?
Plus, the boycotters managed to annoy a fair number of people, many of whom deliberately posted extra yesterday, specifically in order to counteract any effect the boycott might have. If you're going to try and have a negative impact on the figures, it's probably a good idea to get people on your side, rather than pissing them off, so they handled the whole thing monumentally badly.
This is something I don't get. What did the strikers do to piss people off so badly? I saw lots of posts of posts by people against the strike calling the strikers by all manner of names, I did not personally witness the terrible crime the strikers committed to garner that reaction.
