Is there any evidence that Reddit has suffered at all from the exodus to Lemmy? (lemmy.world)

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...

Or those 3.8k users were on Apollo, RIF etc that didn’t bring any revenue to Reddit regardless.

They could care less about these users leaving, there are plenty of new angsty teenagers to take their place

If they're the same that generated significantly more content, then it's still a loss for reddit

It doesn't really matter, though. The fact that I'm here and not using reddit has netted a huge improvement in my happiness.

To be honest, I don't really care if more reddit users come here. They can keep their bad takes and dick-swinging contests on reddit.

A very good point. To be honest, if they are happy with that new demographic, and we are happy here, everyone's happy
