(reddthat.com) submitted 3 years ago by andxze@reddthat.com to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world 162 comments fedilink hide all child comments Do we at this point have any substantial data on just how many users Reddit actually lost due to this? Any resources would be greatly appreciated. As a sidenote, I'll add that they certainly lost my account the second I couldn't use RiF anymore.

Switching to Lemmy makes me want to participate even more and hopefully foster more people to join. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] zabil@lemmy.world 23 points 3 years ago (1 child) I had an active 11 year old account that I deleted. The final straw for me was an interaction with a ham fisted admin these last few days. It really and honestly is a toxic environment there, and the admins are following the lead from Spez, so it's deeply embedded into the culture. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lobut@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 years ago (1 child) I wonder if you could have sold those accounts. You get done money and Reddit gets worse. Win-win. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] zabil@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] Moohamin12@lemm.ee 21 points 3 years ago The karma is such a psychological thing. In real life, it translates to nothing. But it makes it just that slightly harder to close an account. permalink fedilink source parent
