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.

I don't want to go back to reddit but as it stands now I don't see Lemmy/mastadon being it's replacement. You didn't have to read a manual to browse reddit. It was much more intuitive.

@Korlock @nodsocket I get what you’re saying, the internet’s always been like that. But it’s ultimately the internet themselves who pay the end price like now.

RSS was widely accepted, until google made something convenient. Now we’re back to established sites getting first dibs on what you see like old media. Then theres XMPP, man.. google.. Googles tender embrace turned into deadly smothering.

You can see websites attempting the same thing as Tumblr adds ActivityPub.
