Reddit Activity Plummeted After The Protests (www.garbageday.email)

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.

Likely Discord, playing games, outside... a few perhaps to oldschool forums.

I know one of my friends is using dedicated forums like stack overflow now

Yep, I'm pretty confident people went to Discord, TikTok, YouTube, Tumblr, HackerNews, Tildes, Discuit, etc.

Obviously not everyone came here, but it seems people spread out a lot more and don't spend time on any one site.

I’ve probably been on Reddit 5 times since they killed the apps.

I’m S ranking Cuphead over and over again on my Steam deck. I’ll probably be doing that 20 years from now.

Nothing soothes me like that game, which is crazy because it’s frustrating as hell. Oh but that feeling when you get hit right after you hear “KNOCKOUT” is unbeatable.
