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!
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.
I’m still sorting that out, thus far I have just assumed that there will be cat videos. It’s basically one of the safest assumptions of the internet.
https://beehaw.org/c/animals it’s not strictly cats, but it’s been a pretty good start IMO.
