If the performance weakness continues for a week or two, the agency would start recommending decreasing spend with Reddit or directing it to other platforms.

After the blackout, we will be closely monitoring user behavior on Reddit and guide clients when we can unpause,” said Freddy Dabaghi, managing director at Stagwell-backed Crispin Porter Bogusky, which has asked clients to stop campaigns, depending on their client goals.

I mean. We're all here. No idea how many people will actually stay, but I hope It's enough. I like the change

Any amount will push lemmy closer to mainstream, so it's always a good thing. The world won't stop going into an anti-privacy and anti-freedom direction over night, so we might be looking at some exponential growth after the wave of new users.

I can only talk for myself. Since yesterday I lurk on Reddit but don’t really engage with it anymore other than that.

As soon as Apollo is gone, even that will go away. I don’t know if I will stay on Lemmy, only time will tell even tho I hope so. But my active days on Reddit are ending right now.
