Some of the planned blackouts will be temporary, others plan to shut their subreddits down indefinitely in protest.

I agree with this. Pretty sure Reddit has already done their share of research on the possible backlash and figured it was still profitable. I highly doubt they’d change their mind now.
My experience here has been great, tbh. Much less toxicity than on Reddit. I’m missing a few subs I frequented there and the app needs some work, but at least there’s no big corporation telling me what to do.
I’m in the same boat as you in regards to Reddit; there are certainly some niche places that I will miss but there are already good alternatives growing. I’m taking this opportunity to both re-evaluate how I engage with the internet and take the time to choose communities that better align with my values.
Yeah I’m planning to just buy extra server space and start my own instance. I’d love to see the fediverse grow
I can’t agree more. I sincerely hope this lasts. Whatever happens, though, I don’t think I’ll be leaving. Regardless of what happens to reddit.
This. The 2016 US presidential election attracted an awful lot of awfully hateful people to Reddit, and they’ve been there pushing my buttons ever since.
Around then I feel is when spam bots on the site started to become really rampant too. I could be mistaken though
