That stunt was doomed to fail due to inconsistent messaging, goals, and total lack of solidarity.
Reddit and its ilk are already dead. Even Lemmy's content starts to repeat itself due to 'cross posts' or other allegedly community building activities.
The chief problem of these platforms is their gameability. Numbers create social 'games' and before you know it, nobody gives a shit what you're saying, they just want to say some short quip, make a number go up, and feel superior.
It comes back around to the problem of: you can't solve social problems with more technology. Social media has a huge verifiability and trust problem.
We need to do away with karma systems, because giving people power to silence each other only leads to abuse. Invitation trees as a social concept keeps people honest, at least if they don't want to piss off others who invited them or were invited by the same person.
The group on Reddit really has no backbone. They folded as soon as their Reddit accounts were threatened. Real protest would've been gaming their system with bots (the same way they do!) And manipulating the narrative en masse.
Nobody had anywhere to go except the Fediverse, and that has its own collection of issues.
Social media is just not compatible with the way people socialize. It's a glamor and attention competition, and the winner gets... likes?
But yeah, to call that half-assed protest a revolution is somewhat of an insult to activism.
