I honestly think most people would go back just out of habit. Even if they don’t go back, once things calm down. I’d absolutely love people to move to fedi, but I just don’t think it’s gonna happen.

It'd be a mix of both for me. I like what I'm seeing on lemmy, but reddit is enrimous and users won't flock here in the same numbers if reddit does an about face.
I plan on sticking to lemmy and only using reddit on the pc for specific things that I can't find here for the time being
Yep, congrats Reddit you've become StackOverflow for me. Searching for weird answers and taking them. I'm no longer contributing, I have Sync on my phone out of respect, but will not participate there. Not that karma matters, but I see tons of posts here of some super high karma users all leaving - which does mean that they pissed off their largest contributors.
As Facebook before them, let them drive out their content creators and let themselves fall into the corporate ad-riddled hellscape they want.
People would go back.
I’ll stay here, the decentralized concept makes so much more sense for this kind of application
It'd be too late. I nuked my account and uninstalled my apps early this morning. I don't intend to return.
I prefer the smaller crowd here. Reddit just feels like a mall these days. Between all the bullshit, tencent, ads and assholes, I’m not looking back.
They've made it clear they won't. And since most subs are only going dark for a measly 48 hours they have no incentive to. It's literally like that "Oh no, anyway..." meme.
And think of it this way: even if you they revert the changes (or you just decide to please /u/spez and only use the official app) do you think the platform will continue to get better or worse? He's shown his hand it's nothing good for the mods or the users.
I probably won't permanently boycott them if they revert, but won't leave here either.
