Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they’ve been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving…

The content on Reddit has gotten noticeably worse - but less as a result of Lemmy’s existence and more of a reaction to killing 3rd Party Apps.
Unfortunately for me, some of my favorite communities haven’t migrated over to Lemmy. So I’m still using Old Reddit Desktop to access them.

The first two things I noticed were that the quality of content tanked (which was already the lowest I’d ever seen before that), and unvetted racism shot up. I still access Reddit on occasion for some small communities, but I use Dystopia so I don’t provide ad revenue and I just don’t interact anymore. It’s like the active/reasonable adults left and it’s mostly kids and bots left posting and commenting.
Yeah, the comments went from jokes and memes to super aggressive threads almost instantly. Kinda crazy to see it exposed like that.
