Partly because the majority of the people didn't even know there were 3rd party apps lol. Many people don't even care about the protests. Reddit is too big for it to go down overnight.
The only thing we could do now is build better communities here.
I was one of those people, didn;t even know about the 3rd party stuff until they were nearly gone. The site took a noticeable decline in quality and that's why I'm here.
I thought Mastodon, Lemmy, and Kbin were all the same thing until about a week before I lost access to RIF. I'm glad I looked into all the Reddit alternatives and found Lemmy. Reddit has been shitty for years anyway.
