It's a good point, I hope alot of subreddits continue indefinitely like some have said they will. Although reddit is unlikely to change their decision, I'm happy with the result. If Lemmy stays even a fraction as active as it is now after the blackouts then Lemmy will be the better choice for me personally.

I didn't use Lemmy before because of how small it felt, but after the blackout every community is bursting with life and I can see Lemmy completely replacing reddit for me.

Hopefully enough refugees feel the same :)

Refugee here, Lemmy feels like Reddit from 16 years ago. This is so much better than whatever Reddit has become over the last several years. Fuck Reddit.

I'm right there with you, Lemmy feels like the next logical evolution of Reddit, but I can't help feeling like Spez is just going to wait us out since we've handed them a timeline. If this was a union strike, which it's feeling more and more like, we'd be waiting until the admins agree to sit down with the mods to discuss an agreement. And I recognize that not everyone understands the gravity of the changes but this is our best change to effect change since the moderators seem to all be on the same page.

I'm here for it. Used reddit since digg, saw the tide turning and I believe the same thing is happening again. As subreddits become public again with no change from spez, I have zero interest to return to Reddit. I'm here for the fediverse.
