Feels weird for them to frame this as if the protest has definitively finished and Reddit won. Reddit is bleeding users, many of whom will probably never return.

That's me! :) I made an account on Lemmy out of general interest in foss projects, and am now a resident. :) The only thing I have noticed so far is more civil conversations and a much less stable app compared to boost (currently Jerboa crashes whenever I press back).

I batch-nuked my Reddit history, comments and posts, but kept my account open so that it doesn't get necromanced by Reddit and I lose control of it. I can't say I miss it at all - occasionally I've got curious about the odd thing and looked, but it's surprised me. :)

Yeah, I’m really only ever going back to Reddit for comic book movie news and /r/motorsportsreplays because there isn’t a good sub on Lemmy for that yet.

It's the same with Pro Wrestling! There's a couple of small subs, but SquaredCircle has all the news in a tidy place
