Found this link that follows the Reddit issues. Not sure if it’s a good/best one, hope it helps.
“Like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass,” the CEO wrote.
This is true. By sheer population most Redditors never left. But I’d say a core percentage responsible for actually making content has moved on and won’t be back.
The lazy won’t move. Some don’t even know what’s going on. I realize that a large majority of the users are simply that, users. They have no understanding of the backend or the issues going on around them.
Once this site is more popular and easy to use, they’ll move.
Honestly that’s what I might end up doing. I’m staying away for as long as I can for the protest, but I don’t intend on leaving forever tbh. But once Lemmy matures enough I might make a full switch. For now most of the content I like from there is simply not here.
What’s stopping you from making that content, or communities? What are they?
The communities are mostly there, they’re just silent. Like ‘last post was two years ago’ silent. And like, I can’t create the huge volume of content I consumed there you know
I saw, I think on the infamous AMA, someone mentioning that on places like Reddit the users are conformed by around 90% lurkers, 9% active commenters, and 1% active posters. I fall on the 9%
TBH, I looked over there yesterday, and it was pretty much business as usual.
The big question is: will that “core percentage” that have moved on settle here and begin making that content for us?
Why isn’t mentioned the censorship that’s happening on Reddit?
