How many users here do you think are going to get bored and end up back on Reddit as soon as the blackout ends? (lemmy.world)

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 will likely go where Reddit Sync goes. I don't really mind if the content here isn't as vast as on Reddit, if I have Sync I have all that I need

Same. It would be great if the Sync dev goes through with switching to Lemmy. That would be perfect for me.

Oh right, until then I'm actually using this platform straight from the browser. It's actually working good enough for me that way.

Same. I have a filter list in sync that's been building for a decade now and I question the sanity of anyone who browses reddit without filtering out like half of it.
