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.

I think it's really better in here. People are more friendly, there's a general feeling of being part of something. Problem is, there is a MASSIVE disparity in terms of content. Reddit has been around for a long time, and has a shit ton of users constantly posting. I really want to stay here, but I think it's gonna be a rough experience for a few months at least.
