Interesting side effect that this will probably kill off some of the Reddit repost bots over here

well, i literally just spun up a instance because of it

Nope. Reddit appeals to the same type of people that use AI. It’s army of bots will tell them exactly what they want to hear, and the authoritarian clowns that mod that shithole will ban anyone for speaking out against the hive.

So, as long as you agree with everyone and are okay with everyone agreeing with whatever you say in subs that don’t allow anyone to speak freely, you’ll be fine.

Basically, it’s the social media equivalent of a HOA nightmare.

Some nonzero amount, sure. But there's never going to be a mass exodus where the entire userbase jumps ship.

Look at how many people still use Twitter even now.

not really. Anyone who relied on the API has already left

Those people will show up and see all the soapy tiddy memes and know that this is home

It usually comes in waves whenever reddit does this. We'll see a modest bump. Some will stay, some will go back. It's just on us to welcome those who come over and hope they stay.

Probably some. I would guess that it would be less-significant than the influx with the third-party-client fiasco.

TBH I'm not convinced enough real humans still use reddit for a new exodus to happen.

Yes.

No.
