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.

    I expect a lot of people to go back, and I can’t deny that if too many people decide to go back I’ll probably drift away too; hoping that the blackouts are indefinite so people stay on here and get acclimated enough to decide that this is better than Reddit (or at least has more potential)

      I’m the same way. Its really all about user content. If the Lemmy userbase doesn’t have a lot to offer after the blackout then I’ll probably go back
