I'm considering the blackout to be like massive natural disasters: most leave, some stay behind, some people come back periodically but it's never the same.
I think the biggest impact is if we all delete our accounts, comments and content. Leaving half of Reddit threads filled with [removed] comments and dead Links.
After my first full day of Lemmy and Mastodon, I'm just about ready to delete my reddit account.
Problem I'm finding is not enough content on lemmy.
Yes but that's essentially a chicken and egg thing.
I want more content too, but for more content we need more users, but we need content to draw in users.
So, I can only control myself, but my plan is to:
Post more than I did on reddit. Post, not comment. Not even OC, just linking articles, ask topics, etc
vote more liberally than I would have on reddit. Not indiscriminately, but less stingy. Certainly if I'm responding to you I should be up voting you, in the original spirit of the up vote button
Yes, I have multiple accounts, some of which are over a decade old. I am getting ready to delete all my old accounts in the next day or so, but I will keep one of my newer accounts as a backup incase they back down.
