However, and somewhat contra to this, I recommend thinking a bit more about the examples you use. At the moment they mainly seem to be about organising protests, which seems like a very political example. The two examples on the collaction website don’t seem great either—in neither case is there any sort of threshold effect whereby the action becomes more worthwhile the more people do it.
I would think about things like coordinating where people live. Right now many people live separated from their friends, but maybe if 10 of them agreed you could re-unite the college gang in one location. Similarly, a lot of EAs live in the bay area, but with enough coordination perhaps they could move somewhere cheaper that has electricity.
Some other examples of things you could coordinate with this website:
Leaving the current social media giants en masse for a more privacy concerned/bubble-breaking/fact-checking alternative. Everyone hates facebook/twitter/tiktok etc and yet everyone uses them because everyone uses them. By coordinating the switch you can effectively take away their biggest driving force: that everyone uses them.
Switching to a different language. Many of the spelling rules are dumb, yet we use them because we are expected to use them. If we all collectively switched to simplified spelling rules everyone wouldn’t need to keep those unnecessarily complex rules in mind.
Organizing boycotts of unethical companies. Your single action will not effect the supply chain which makes people unmotivated to act. This website would change that.
Switching from cars to other modes of transportation.
Doing illegal things in very large groups so you can’t be arrested (e.g not wearing a burqa)
Starting a local project (e.g exercise group)
Redefining/reclaiming a word.
Organizing a strike against your exploitative employer.
Wearing no/less clothes during hot summer months.
Switching to a different currency.
Having one person pick up groceries for everyone in the local community instead of everyone driving separately.
Organizing/attending an event.
Starting a crowdsourced project (e.g a wiki)
...
In short; the list of things I only do because everyone else does them is gigantic, but that list is tiny compared to all the things I would do if more people started doing them. I could keep going but I hope this gives some idea as to why this site might be useful.
You might be interested in the Free State Project, which seems like a similar idea: a large group of people all pledging to move to New Hampshire if enough other people made the same pledge. They seem to have had some success, including the election of the first strongly EA aligned politician in the US.
