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.

Edit: Wow this blew up!

Edit 2: Thanks for the gold kind stranger!

Edit 3: RIP my inbox! I can’t believe this made /r/all!

Edit 4: We did it Reddit! Lemmy!

    It depends on whether someone’s a member of the community or just because they want to scroll some epic memes. I expect many people are of the latter category and probably don’t even understand what the fuss is about.

    It’s not like I’ll never look at Reddit again if there’s useful info on it but I won’t be part of the Reddit community again after the scorn and disrespect they showed it - I hope to help build something new over here.

    I can’t do anything about Reddit’s decisions but I can vote with my attention and help to build a compelling alternative.
