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 never going back (Besides to delete my account).

Lemmy reminds me of when I first joined Reddit. There isn’t a constantly changing frontpage (yet). The communities are smaller, but thats a good thing. I actually want to participate.

I’ve drunk the koolaid. I’m considering starting an instance for my personal professional community that I lost since the pandemic.

Mastodon didnt click for me, but neither did twitter even in its hey-day. Just not my cup of tea. But Lemmy does.
