    It certainly will eventually, all things do. The real question is what Reddit looks like after.
    I suspect it will be something quite different, and something I want no part of any more.

      For sure it will pass. I think the reddit landscape in the aftermath largely depends on the duration of the blackout. I think for people go truly shake the habit, it needs to go on for a signficant amount of time. Otherwise the masses will return, forget, and move on.

        I’m currently using the Jerboa app. To put it nicely, it’s rather lacking, and that might stop people from switching. But it’s still a significantly better experience for my use case than the native Reddit app. No clutter, no ads, no useless whitespace. Just the posts and the comments.

        When the RIF developer makes a lemmy app, I think that might be the tipping point for a lot of people.
