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.

Edit: Wow this blew up!

Edit 2: Thanks for the gold kind stranger!

Edit 3: RIP my inbox! I can’t believe this made /r/all!

Edit 4: We did it Reddit! Lemmy!

    Whatever happens, once RIF is offline I won’t have the muscle memory and habit of opening it. And RIF was the only way I access Reddit, it’s a pain in the ass using Reddit on a mobile browser and their app sucks. So I’m just gonna stop using Reddit daily. I’ll still wander in from Google when looking stuff up, but I won’t be on it daily anymore.

      That’s how I’m also planning on using Reddit after the shutdown. I’m fully planning on shredding my Reddit data after getting a personal copy as well.
