Some possibilities:

Some fool thinks it's a good idea to DDoS Reddit today to make a point.
Some Reddit admin thinks it's a good idea to take it offline deliberately to make a point.
The general public are hugging it to death out of curiosity about the protest.
Unrelated outage. Outages happen, sometimes even on the same day as other things.

It's a false flag operation so reddit admins can claim they were attacked and take legal action against the protesters.
