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.

For me I plan on replacing it entirely and staying. Do I think this place is going to ultimately usurp reddit no. Do I think that lemmy will be able to provide for me everything I used to get on reddit maybe but certainly not immediately. But it's nice to be in a smaller setting it's nice to have less drama and I honestly just prefer fed style now that I understand it. Getting rid of suits in charge and ads in our faces is more than enough to keep me here even if there's not as much content.
