...how many of you will stay? Personally, I wiped my Reddit history and deleted my account, so I'm definitely here to stay. I can see, however, that a number of people see Lemmy more as a distraction until the blackout is over. I wonder what that number would be.

I'm looking for something to fill the void. The enshittification of reddit isn't going to stop any time soon, just the nature of chasing quarterly profits. I plan to keep my account though. There are some really valuable communities there, and cutting ties completely feels like it would be spiting the nose off my face. r/home improvement has helped me on so many occasions, for example. I am hopeful that lemmy can grow to be the spiritual successor of reddit though!
