Can anyone explain the idea of "facebook solidarity" to me?

I've been on facebook for over three years now and have never heard of that. Be careful, could be some app looking to hack your account!

It's a local political issue. I get emails from them all the time. I don't think it's anything sinister.

I've seen it before. Change you profile picture to your child, pink ribbon, etc. No harm to it but something I don't bother with.

It's a thing though I never knew it had a formal name. It's a thing and its an annoying trend I ignore at every turn it shows up.

Never got an email asking for a posting of a certain image or message on my profile but I see them often on my news feed.

Do you even have a Facebook account boomerang? If you don't then I expect your email box has been hit with a phishing campaign that assumes you have a Facebook account.

I didn't think it was harmful but it just doesn't make any sense to me. I thought maybe I just didn't get it since I don't use Facebook.

From where I'm sitting it sounds like kind of a stupid, ineffective, annoying thing to ask people to do.

Is it a way for people to feel like they're doing something when they really aren't doing anything?

Or does it really make a difference?

I get emails from the group all the time. It's a school/education issue and I get emails on this stuff constantly. I think they just assume everyone uses Facebook.

I suppose if you were on the fence and you saw all your friends supported a certain issue, it could be like peer pressure to support it or encouragement to research it yourself, but other than that it is probably more like a futile gesture.

That makes sense! Thanks.
