I want to believe it’s true, for moral reasons, but based on the stats I’ve seen it seems like we’re a minority.

That TechCrunch article previously posted basically said traffic and usage took an early hit but pretty much rebounded.

Either way, I don’t plan to go back. I like you Lemmites.

I’d been looking for a new Reddit even before this fiasco, im glad there’s something fresh

To be fair rumors have been spreading for years that reddit was going to IPO and pretty much gut the site. I remember comments from probably 5 years ago where people called out that eventually they would probably shut off access to third party apps. Reddit is over being reddit.

Things are about to get real though with basically all 3p apps going away. I think it will be a substantial hit, but maybe I'm overestimating the percent of users and mods on 3p apps.

I am fine with majority will stay there. They can keep the trolls, bots, and bad actors with them.

Yeah, we won't be able to match their quantity anytime soon, but I hope there will be a noticeable difference in quality.
