lol a temporary boycott with an explicitly defined timeframe of two days. Yeah that'll show them.

It's the protest/boycott circle jerk. "Congrats everyone, we showed Meta with that two day boycott. They will definitely stop being a shitty company. Let's celebrate by going back on Facebook and Instagram."

Protests & boycotts only work when they are sustained for long periods of time. The requires people to stay committed to an idea or goal even when it inconveniences them.
