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’m sure there will be a huge downtick, but there’s also people like me who heard about Lemmy because of Reddit but this is totally something I’d support. Now that I know it’s here, I have a source for my cat videos and obscure video game recommendations, I don’t really need the activity and tumult of Reddit. I’m sure there are dozens like me. Dozens.
