Honestly? I wouldn't care much (I've never been to reddit except as a search result that never produces anything remotely useful).
And while I would prefer SOPA not be passed I'm not super worked up about it. If passed it is about the sixth piece of legislation over the last 15 years that I've been informed will end the internet as we know it. And they either haven't or have been struck down in the courts.
I tend not to get apocalyptic about things and really not about bills in Congress before they reach conference committee. So if I get super upset about it I guess it will be post facto.
If Google, Reddit, Facebook, et al. want to go dark for some period to protest, then I salute their dedication. But I won't much be inconvenienced unless they convince all their competitors to go along with them. And if Google takes down any irreplaceable services (like Gmail) then that will do as much to emphasize how potentially malignant they are as any particular bill in congress.
