MODERATORS
Because the most active contributing users left. I used to comment a lot on reddit, but I've been exclusively on Lemmy since my 3rd party app was axed.
And I've been very active here. Like, even on this alt account that I made 16 days ago, my app says my post "karma" is already higher than my reddit comment karma was from over a decade.
I feel more willing to contribute because there's a sense of community, and I'm not just providing free entertainment for a company to profit off of.
You’re not alone. Just check https://subredditstats.com/r/technology or any other sub you used to visit and you’ll see a clear drop in comments/day. After the APIcalypse, so many people just left and never came back.
Is this data really accurate? The difference is insane for every subreddit I checked.
I think so, all the older data points make sense (you can clearly make out the begin of COVID and the Ukraine war). It's really insane, 50-90% less activity is no exaggeration.
