postcarding 

When someone uses text messaging or instant messaging to deliver a one-way communication. Even if you respond immediately, there is little chance to expect a reply -- the postcarder has already put their phone away or closed the instant message window.
Oh boy, Jennifer is postcarding again. I texted her back immediately and got "Delivered", but she hasn't even "Read" my response. She is just happy to have delivered her postcard.

That act of taking ineffective action. Advocating or engaging in activism that appears impactful but lacks substantial or lasting effect, often limited to symbolic gestures or superficial, fruitless efforts. Frequently used to describe actions that provide a sense of participation without creating meaningful change.
You think signing an online petition and marching on Washington again is going to make a difference? Classic postcarding.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
