  • I mean - it was a ~6% drop…Most of which is probably back by now. The visit duration was a decently significant drop at about 10%, but that will surely return to normal as more subreddits open back up. I doubt reddit is going anywhere, or will even make any substantial changes resulting from the protest.

    Overall, I’m unlikely to go back. Not necessarily to hurt reddit or anything, but because fediverse alternatives seem pretty reasonable without ads that will be forced on users now that reddit third party API calls are basically gutted. The infrastructure is here to make something good. Hopefully the turnout will stick around and increase beyond the initial influx of users from the protest. I will say that, of the various “exodus” episodes of reddit’s lifetime, this seems more impactful. I think mainly due to the alternatives actually being present. Earlier attempts at exodus fell short because there was simply nothing similar out there.
