Might be actually better to follow them now. In case these profiles move to another instance, you will still follow them after the move. But if you don’t follow them it might be harder to find out if and where they moved to, to find them again.

In fact, I’ll turn your logic upside down: if your protest didn’t get the result you wanted, you just didn’t mobilize enough people (or not enough people cared for your cause)
