The news cycle is going to move to something else in a couple of weeks, and this whole fiasco is going to be just yet another obscure footnote in internet history.

While true, I think this has killed a lot of goodwill from moderators and power users who will just wait for a viable alternative then instantly jump ship

Alternatives that you just know are being worked on right now
