    It depends on what changes they made. Reddit is fairly left-leaning so if they start seeing more right-wing content or racist crap being allowed on the site, it might happen.

    People quit X because it allowed notorious racists and neo-Nazis back on the site, and also did dumb stuff like not allowing people to unfollow Elon Musk (it will automatically re-follow him after some time). It also prioritised and propagated right-wing content which, shockingly, left-wing users didn’t like.

      What Musk did is roughly the Reddit-equivalent of reinstating t_d and auto-subscribing everybody.

      If that happened, yeah, folks would leave in rather large numbers.
