Pretty much, but it's useful to have such a summary to refer to. Specially in the future, as it'll be harder and harder over time to remember what was going on in Reddit, and why so many people left it. And one of my objectives with this comm is to document what happened with Reddit, it would be great if we did the same when Digg went downhill.

did many people actually leave? Haven't seen any statistics yet

I haven't been back. Once Baconreader went dark it's been all fediverse all the time.

I still open baconreader once in a while out of habit.

There's a little message about "hey sorry but reddit fucked us", then I remember there is no reddit anymore and I wander off :)
