Is there any evidence that Reddit has suffered at all from the exodus to Lemmy?

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...

Interesting perspective, but then cannot we consider that Lemmy users are aware that they are including all of the Fediverse in their conversation? That way Lemmy instances could be treated in the same way email providers are

Once the "controller has made the personal data public", they have legal obligations. Gmail doesn't make my data public, generally.

Hm, I see. A shortcoming of the law, when they probably did not imagine something such as Lemmy or Mastodon happening. By the way, how does Mastodon deal with that? They've been around for much longer

I checked Mastodon briefly. It appears they are currently not in compliance. There are open issues on GitHub, but nothing looks close.

But the controller is not making the data public. The user is.
