You severely underestimated how many casual normies Reddit has. Protests had no major impact and things will resume as if nothing happened.
I used Boost until Reddit shut it down, and I must say, that has not been my experience.
Reddit is a shell of what it was before. /r/All and /r/Popular showed absolutely nothing. The most random subreddits would pop up, and have like 200 upvotes. The front page was so boring and blank.
When subs started coming back, they limited posts, so you'd get like 1 post per day instead of 50-100. Some subs turned into posting memes only, or pics of only one thing/person.
Reddit was absolutely harmed in this. I was already preparing to leave, but Reddit actually became really boring and useless that last month to the point where I rarely opened the app.
Yeah I figured haha. But yeah, big doesn't equal good, I like the communities on lemmy better by now, without a lot of randoms.
