How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?
How much of those 3% are comprised of the 1% who are active posters and the 10% who contribute commenting instead of the ~90% lurkers?
I’m willing to bet more than 20% of the people who left Reddit are frequent contributors instead of lurkers. Those are the users that drive traffic in the long run.
I was definitely a Reddit power user. To the point that people who wanted to dig at me thought “look at all the time you spend on Reddit” would insult me for some reason. They lost me last week and I don’t plan on coming back. I pinned a “Reddit sucks, come to Lemmy” post on my profile and logged out.
I won’t say that I was keeping any decently-large subreddits alive singlehandedly, I didn’t have that ability or power, but I was definitely a major contributor.
