[–] TheLurker@lemmy.world 67 points 3 years ago (4 children) Major social media platforms don't just explode and go extinct, they slowly slip into irrelevancy. Digg still exists, no-one cares. Tumblr still exists, no-one cares. Myspace still exists, no-one cares. The list goes on and on. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.world 14 points 3 years ago (2 children) Exactly. I no longer visit Reddit since the incident. I know I'm one person but there are others just like me. Fuck Reddit. I mean digg. Or do I mean Reddit? Ceo is a loser. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] TheLurker@lemmy.world 14 points 3 years ago The question is, what percentage of the 90:9:1 ratio they lose? The 90% being those who just use it The 9% being those who engage and comment The 1% being the content creators. Reddit would seem to have lost a lot of the 1% and a fair chunk of the 9%. The 90% will take at least a year to understand that there is not any new engaging content being created. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Hype@lemm.ee 6 points 3 years ago (1 child) there are other just like me. I am right here, and there are many more. I quit reddit about a week before the blackout. I used to be a power user, I'm talking more than 3 hours a day easily. I made a few post, but most of my engagement was from comments. I quit cold turkey, actively avoiding reddit result from google searches. Fast forward to today, and I still don't use it out of spite. I still avoid it if I can but if there are search results from Google that have answers to my specific problem on reddit, I will read the comments with ad-block on and move on to another website if the reddit link did not provide a solution. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] caballeroAguila@mujico.org 1 point 3 years ago I respect your spite and dedication. permalink fedilink source parent [–] pss395@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago The thing is, the website you listed have direct alternatives. Right now with the current format Reddit is the only big player so moving away from it will be very hard.
