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.
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.
