Yeah, Reddit is not the ghost town I thought it would be after the mass exodus.
Like we had a secret (or not so secret) desire for it to crumble so we can crack a beer and say good riddance. π
But in the end, business mostly as usual.
It's still active -- save the communities that got kneecapped by mods during the revolt (and sadly, most of those are now Discord-based rather than having any appreciable activity here).
The activity there now is a lot... dumber. Like much of the internet, the ratio of real people to braindead bots on Reddit is a lot different than a few years ago.
I don't get why more people didn't move to Lemmy or mbin
Because most people did not use 3rd party apps and do not care about siteβ²s management. Why move to someplace else if everything works great where you already are.
In my case it didn't work great. Without 3rd party apps reddit died. I see your point tho. Some people are fine with a buggy ass client full of ads
Inertia is a bitch. That's why.
