How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

Yep, it's going to take a few months for the spam bots to really take control of the default subs. There's still several subs' mod teams who are in active standoffs with the admins about the NSFW tag, and I believe there's still a large amount of lesser known/popular subs that are either still completely inaccessible or in read only mode.

    And time for the Lemmy apps to mature, which is happening at a staggering rate.

    The people here now are most willing to deal with the friction but as the ecosystem matures and the content grows, I would expect word of mouth to help maintain some steady growth even with no additional Reddit drama.
