Support style subs will continue to operate, reopen, or stay open. Heart conditions, addictions, etc. Until those groups are created in Lemmy, there is no way those users will go. And if there are those that scrap their account on Reddit, they would likely create a lurker account there just to participate in those subs

Steve Huffman (more like Steve Huffspaint) should resign as CEO of Reddit.

Maybe I'm pessimistic but nothing will come from these protests. Most subs did a half-assed useless two day blackout. The subs that have gone indefinitely dark are good, but it's the users that make a difference. Reddit most likely won't see a significant drop in users or traffic.

I feel like most will just stay but it will never feel the same. As for what could possibly replace it, at least for me, it has been a conglomoration of different things serving different purposes. Lemmy is good for seeing discussion, RSS for my own personal link aggregation, and then the occasional browsing of something like Mastodon which just hits a bit different personally. Those together have more or less quenched my desire for reddit for anything except hitting it on Google Search results.

Great article and summary but man, whatever happened to editorial review? There are three or four major grammatical errors in that short piece. It's unfortunate because it's extremely well written otherwise, and does a great job of reporting objectively which is very rare these days.
