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.

Edit: Wow this blew up!

Edit 2: Thanks for the gold kind stranger!

Edit 3: RIP my inbox! I can't believe this made /r/all!

Edit 4: We did it ~~Reddit!~~ Lemmy!

Same here. Currently using Jerboa and it's close enough to RIF to be easy enough in transition. It's been difficult to not absentmindedly open RIF but the second I do I'm greeted by blackout posts and remember to close it. I've only ever used the desktop site at work when looking stuff up and see Reddit in the results, but I've been testing the water with chat gpt lately for how-to type stuff and it's been interesting.
