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...

Just have a look at the content there, it dropped a lot in quality.

    As someone who only ever browsed all, I see no difference.

    I've noticed the same. It's possible that a lot of content creators left. It's also possible that you and I have gotten used to not having the lowest common denominator stream of consciousness from the Reddit hive mind firehosed in our faces.

    As a browser, I notice that Lemmy seems much more dynamic and engaging. It's small, weird and there appear to be all sorts of things going on in the corners which I didn't notice so much on reddit (they were probably there, but got overlooked die to sheer volume of content). I like the experience so far, reminds me of the early days of exploring the web.

    I lost all patience with low effort posts. I try to call out anyone asking easily google-able questions or clear karma baiting. It took a couple days of this to realize I needed take a long break from it. I'm debating keeping my account solely to get my karma up a bit more and trying to sell it, not sure yet.
