Nah, it’s kind of been like that. I think at this point, all of the people who got swept up “sticking it” to Reddit have gone back onto Reddit, so all we have left are the tech-savvy people and the doomers/gloomers in the news- and politics-related communities.
If this has taught me anything, I found that the best communities are still small forums - like the old school kind, not like here and Reddit. And sadly, those will probably go away with time, and then we’d have just shitty social media sites or the digital frontiers like the Fediverse.
I'm personally a Reddit deserter and I really don't think others like me have all gone back to Reddit. The primary issue most left over is still very much an issue. I haven't used it once since the day RiF stopped working.
Same for me. The day RIF made its first announcement, I shredded my complete post/comment history that overwrote them with random BS. When RIF shut down, I deleted my account. Been here ever since. It's really not too bad, if you just resolutely block the most notorious crossposters, and always block any community/user you don't want to read content from.
