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!

      I’m sorry but this is the wrong attitude. His concerns are legitimate, even if somewhat poorly expressed, and they are just some among many. If Lemmy and the fediverse at large wants to grow and see wider adoption, there needs to be a way to tackle these issues, or be more transparent as to why they won’t be tackled in the near future, or never.

      For what it’s worth, I am going to stick around despite the issues, because I see there’s a drive to improve and so I expect Lemmy and other fediverse platforms to get better with time, while I expect reddit to keep getting more and more worse with time, and I’m done taking that abuse.

      Cause the subreddits I’m interested in are private at the moment? What is this question lol
