I plan to stay. But let’s see what happens in a couple of months after the shock of all these changes has worn off and see how those who are offended by reddit actually react. Reddit will remain the site with way way more content and active users for a long while
Lemmy still needs plenty of development and active contributors/engagers to have any long term chance.
I think you need to look at trajectory with these alternatives. For example, squabble is great in its design, but its growth is linear, so it’s unlikely to take off. Lemmy can - if it can maintain a 1% per day growth rate for a year it’ll be a solid 30-40 million user platform - but it really needs as much momentum as it can get early on, because it could still crash.
