The people you’re (justifiably) worried about aren’t leaving Reddit because of the blackouts. The Reddit experience and content haven’t disappeared- all you have to do is switch to subs that didn’t go dark and post/consume content there instead. Eventually the protesting subs will be reopened under more subservient mods and everything will go back to “normal”.
People (like me) who are exploring entirely new communities right now are the ideologically motivated ones who don’t like what Reddit leadership is doing and want to find a new place without that kind of toxicity. Based on my very limited experience so far, that seems like the kind of person who would fit in here.
