    Has that website actually achieved anything of relevance?

      Anytime I see a petition for anything, it’s usually hosted there.

        But has it achieved anything being hosted there?

          Yes, I’ve just explained this. The achievement is being the go-to place for petitions.

            The question isn’t if the site has achieved anything, but if the petitions on the site have. They’re rarely successful

              That goes for the vast majority of petitions in general.

            So you indirectly actually answered it: No, it didnt.

            In case you didnt notice: I wanted to know if they influenced anything.

    Use whatever platform your country uses for Citizen Initiatives, it’s often more effective than that website.

    What would being open source accomplish? I think the official sites of governments are better suited because there is at least some official recognition involved.

    I never heard about somebody reaxhed something with change.org… Its Mord like a data Grab site…

    I mean the Herman gvmnt has an official site for such stuff for example https://epetitionen.bundestag.de/epet/startseite.html

    Is the lack of source code access the problem with change.org? It’s just a one-sided popularity poll website masquerading as activism.
