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.
I “go back” for some of the writers I follow that still post their work to reddit. Even the subs they post in are a shadow of what they were, and browsing “all” is depressing
