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...

An anecdote can be evidence if the bar is low enough. I understand what you're getting at, but if the ask is for any evidence, an anecdote can be that.

Honestly, instead of being snarky you could just clarify what you want to see. That kind of attitude is why reddit slowly became a toxic hole.

Odd because I view your behavior as more of the problem with Reddit

Oh good, the quintessential "no u". Another reddit staple. Ironically, that sounds like an anecdote and is therefore inadmissible by your logic.

I'm not sure you're seeing the issue here... you can't just say that one kind of user is the problem and then not recognize that others may see something else as the issue.

You pompus fucks always putting in your two sense with nothing to base it on is the real quintessential Reddit behavior.

Uh huh. I'm sure that the problem ruining sites like this is people pointing out when someone else is being rude.

Anyway, a second "no u" is certainly not a surprise. Lashing out over some simple advice, name calling instead of making a point, presuming I just don't understand you and acting like your opinion is any better by virtue of it being yours. All of these things reek of terminally online culture.

No, I get what you're trying to say. I understand that you also have an opinion on what makes sites like this bad. I'm also just saying you're wrong. Call me whatever you like, the fact is that people don't respect an asshole. You can try to be less of one, or you can just continue shouting into the void.

Either way, later tater.
