Well, it’s a protest, not a notice of intent to vacate. You don’t go on strike at your job because you plan to quit, you go on strike because you want conditions to change so you don’t have to quit. Users are finding alternatives, but that wasn’t the point of the blackout; the point of the blackout is to tell Reddit to quit its bullshit, because it depends on the users and mods, and a mass protest like this right before IPO is a pretty bad look for the company. That said, I do agree that leaving it at a 2-day action is not enough, and hope that more subs will go private/restricted indefinitely unless changes are made, with possible migrations elsewhere.
