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?

Yup. I haven't logged in since Boost went down and don't intend to. Except when a link takes me there and auto-opens the app.

That said, while it's fun and informative to talk about how bad Reddit has become, I hope Lemmy can move on soon and just start being something different rather than constantly being smug about Reddit.

I still have 12k+ comments made over 15 years I need to delete, then I'm gone

I thought the same as you until I checked and saw that /r/programming is back. That is a professional resource whose merits outweigh the ideological ramifications

It's mostly blogspam and gpt generated "articles" and has been for years. Some of the language specific subs were good though.
