Reddit Activity Plummeted After The Protests (www.garbageday.email)

Excerpt:

Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago. This suggests the problem is way fewer users, not the same number of users browsing less. The huge and universal dropoff also suggests that people left, either because of the changes or the protests, and they aren’t coming back.

Whatever you do, don't go back, as it's only the dregs of society left there. Honestly, it's horrible on there now. I permanently left it yesterday.

So how much of the use today is from bots? I imagine that percent went significantly up.

Hey, at least the attention whoring subs are getting a lot of frontpage time XD

Like the "amiugly" and all its variants, which I didn't even know existed until after the fiasco pushed them to get on the r/all frontpage.

Shame Reddit took such a nosedive. It's a good reminder that no good thing last forever when an IPO is announced and it's time to squeeze every last dollar out

Was there an up to date register of best alternatives per each subreddit?

I'd say it goes deeper than that. the lack of a proper mobile app has definitely decreased my presence on reddit. but there's more.

i do visit some 'niche' subreddits about once a day from my desktop (hurrah for old.reddit), and i once went to popular+hot -- it was utter rubbish. being here and on mastodon has opened my eyes on how severely the general content on reddit has deteriorated.

All the people on r/piracy there better jump ship before Reddit sells all their info to Big Brother

Shocker, the troll who said Elon Musk was a genius and has sex with an orange cat with silicone implants on the side was wrong??
