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 intend to return after the blackout. At least for the rest of June. It is said multiple times, that this is just the first step for many subreddits.
I will continue using Lemmy and use Reddit only for specific communities. If there is no chance in sight on Reddits behalf, the communities can work on travelling to alternatives properly and this needs time and planing.
As of now, this exodus is more like a panicked escape. At least one community I am from means business and I would like to support them as much as possible.
lol, you make it sound like literal refugees escaping a war torn country.
My apologies. I tend to exaggerate when trying to be funny.
