I don’t mean to be pessimistic, bit since most subreddits are only going dark for a couple days, the site will basically be back to normal soon. I wonder how many users here are only here because of temporary outrage and not because they actually prefer Lemmy. I’m curious about people’s outlook on this situation.
I think a lot of them will. Realistically, a lot of people are going to forget about the whole blackout thing and just use the official app.
It’s so tempting once the blackout is over, especially as certain communities just are too niche to be found on Lemmy yet and I value those discussions. But for sure my usage of reddit while not going to 0 will be cut drastically.
