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

I’d be a liar if I claimed that I don’t feel a bit sad too. But even then, I think that I’m more amused and excited than sad? (It’s a weird mix of feelings, I know.)
And maybe because I’m getting old, I’m learning how to enjoy the brevity of the things. Reddit was born, thus Reddit will die; content was created, thus it’ll be lost; so goes on. Nothing shall last forever.
That said, I think that most content will eventually migrate elsewhere. Some will be lost in the process, sure, but that’s a given when handling this sort of closed platform. Better now than later, as lingering on Reddit will only increase the amount of content that will be lost there.
