Do we at this point have any substantial data on just how many users Reddit actually lost due to this?

Any resources would be greatly appreciated.

As a sidenote, I’ll add that they certainly lost my account the second I couldn’t use RiF anymore.

    Hell naw, I’m a lurker (on Reddit). I used Apollo because I’m an IT guy and I can’t stand ads.

    I feel like I actually should start interacting here though, because I’m not being over spoken / silenced by AI bots and algorithms

    Edit: I am already halfway to my number of updoots on my Reddit account of 7 years… it’s working! Be the change you want to see!

      nevermind AIs, people will dogpile you and just generally be dicks over on that site even over something innocuous, and it’s great being somewhere that spectre isn’t hanging over your head

        Yeah, sometimes I look over there to see how it’s doing, and the comments are even more toxic than I remembered. It’s undeniable that a large chunk of the people who left were the decent ones.
