▲ 423 ▼ Reddit users lost? (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.
