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.
Same for me. I do still have the RIF app installed but as soon as I can’t use it… Well it’s gone for me. I like Lemmy more this far. For me the small space communities was what I was there for though. Some of the more niche stuff might not come over but I have discords for most of those anyway.
The Twitter > Mastodon tech migration felt similar, if not smaller, and I’m much happier on Mastodon now. Less toxic, more positive. I don’t miss Twitter at all. Hopefully this migration is similar.
