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.
Personally, I won’t be coming back to Reddit after this, not for everyday stuff anyway. But since there’s a lot of information on Reddit that’s nowhere else, I’ll probably have to look at it every once in a while.
The API changes may have been what finally pushed me to leave Reddit, but I’ve been dissatisfied with how it’s being run for a couple of years now. Even if lemmy won’t turn out to be for me, I’ll just look for another alternative.
