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.
Impossible to say now, but definitely quite a lot of them are not going to be regular users. I still hope/believe the majority will stay though.
Agreed. Reddit was the only social platform I’ve used for as long as I can remember, but I do not intend to go back. It feels weird.
The community here is much better IMHO
Much less toxic
(I’m not talking about lemmygrad)What’s wrong with lemmygrad? I haven’t been there yet so I don’t know.
It’s like r/The_Donald but on the opposite end of the political spectrum
I describe it better as stethoscope theory.

Yeah, but it’s still relatively small now. We’ll wait and see I guess haha.
At the very least the exposure will put Lemmy on the map
