...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.

It shouldn't, provided people don't just pile into single instances and spread themselves out.

Also Support your local instance provider.. ask them if they have a patron or something you can donate to. These servers aren't cheap to run, and the more people and on an instance, the more money it takes to keep up on the upkeep.

In the end due to the lack of ads, someone must front the costs, and with no angel investors (I mean I don't want angel investors all over my fediverse, do you?) it's gotta be us.
