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.

nahhh. at least not entirely. i'm focusing on feeling more at home here, it'd feel wrong to go back. over the last months the cracks have started to show in reddit to such a degree, i was trying to escape but couldn't quite get committed enough, so this is perfect

i'm sure people will dabble in specific subs but still mainly use lemmy as best as they can
