I guess that this 50501 movement has somehow gained some recent popularity from somewhere, but the sheer volume of content, communities, and even instances seems weird.
Where did this all come from and why did it seem to come as a sudden flood?

There’s also a community that mirrors posts and comments from Reddit, so it looks like a lot is happening here while it’s actually all happening on Reddit.
For those who, like me, don’t know what 5051 is, it is an american protest movement against corruption “50 protests. 50 states. 1 movement.”
Please correct me if I’m wrong.
it is a nationwide movement with at least tens of thousands of people across literally every state organizing political action, and it’s only growing, so… here they are.
Discovery sucks in the fediverse, so it causes a lot of fractured and spammed content until hopefully everyone migrates to a stable community. Otherwise everyone eventually leaves as there appears to be no interest in a topic due to the fragmentation.
That’s a good point, and it aligns with the idea of the large group migrating from reddit. Thanks for that perspective.
