Getting into any kind of online discussion with the "$X is khamass" crowd is generally futile.

As I said, it's way out of my wheelhouse, but I'm planning on spending some time in the next months on trying to merge a decrypted backup of old iOS Signal chat history into the decrypted backup of current Android chat history and trying to restore from that (re-encrypted) backup (there is no native iOS to Android transfer on Signal yet), so I'm starting to look into any learning material that will allow me to not fail within the first 2 minutes of trying :).
Definitely do start writing this stuff up!

To be honest, I'd wager that most of the benefit in doing something as little as sending copy-pasted emails is that it increases the probability of the protester doing a more meaningful action in the future (by generating some cognitive dissonance, by reinforcing a positive internal narrative, by weakening the illusion of powerlessness, etc.).
If anyone has experience calling to protest, could they share it here? Otherwise, the simplest course of action might be to copy-paste the arguments given in [1] into an email addressed to the parties mentioned in the parent comment.

The relevant part:
> "we concluded that approximately 1 in 380 http requests coming out of Tor is verified to be malicious, while only 1 in 11,500 http requests coming out of a non-Tor ip were verified to be malicious. In essence, an http request from a Tor ip is 30 times more likely to be a malicious attack than one that comes from a non-Tor ip."
> "He will be certainly exposed to an arbitrary trial, if he — in the U.K., extradition trial. The choreography is clear. Whatever his lawyers say, in the end, the U.K. judges will say, “Yes, of course, we cannot extradite him if there’s death penalty or torture or treatment, so, please, U.S., make assurances.” The U.S. will obviously make these assurances, and then the U.K. will say, “Then we have no reason not to trust the U.S.” And they will extradite him to the U.S. That’s what I foresee. And that’s what he expect he will hear. And that’s the crux here. In addition to the ill treatment he has already suffered, I am absolutely convinced that he will not get a fair trial. He’ll get a show trial in East Virginia, and he’ll end up in prison under inhumane conditions for the rest of his life. That needs to be prevented."
The whole article is worth reading: Melzer initially was extremely opposed to even looking into Assange's case (his negative view of Assange having been molded by media, as he states), and describes how his view evolved immediately after starting working on this, assessing him, etc.
