many of them will come back by Wednesday
We have not seen any significant revenue impact so far
like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass
They’re not entirely wrong, many will go right back, but it’s more about the broken trust. Reddit is dead to me and the refusal to listen to the community at all really seals it.
Yeah, I have some communities I’ll continue to participate in on reddit simply because I can’t find a similar community on the fediverse at this time. But it’s only a matter of time before those communities will grow a large enough presence elsewhere. When the blackout lifts, there are a few communities I’m a member of where I expect we’ll have discussions about a fediverse alternative… ultimately it’s not about how many users are back on reddit tomorrow, it’s about how many users and communities have started to break their relationship with reddit and prepare themselves for other alternatives.
Oof

This is a good call out. Users will return on Wednesday and a number of them will return sharing links to places like this (at least I hope 🤞)
That’s my plan!
