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.
This is exactly it for me. I have been wanting to leave Reddit for years, but there has never been a solid alternative. It remains to be seen if content will propagate enough on Lemmy but this recent nonsense from Reddit is driving everyone to find alternatives and may be enough to get the ball rolling.
