Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they've been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving...

Define mass.... The giant Twitter exodus we can now know was maybe 10%, some to mastodon/fedi, the rest who knows. I'd assume the same for Reddit, pending any factual data.

And I suspect that many of those they left Reddit, reddit is better off without -- super touchy argumentative people kinda made a noisy bro-ish pass through, may be starting to calm down now... I hope.

The thing is, to me, to not worry about what "other people" are doing and stfu and build community. Post what you want to read etc. We don't need over 9000 million people we just need the right people who show and contribute and all that.

And so here we are!

Some numbers on Twitter traffic gleaned from reading posts my Twitter folk on fedi somewhere.

It's merely curious anyway. I assume shitter is gonna die eventually, I try mainly to ignore it.
