    That’s what I expected as well. My guess is that it’s mostly somewhat tech savvy people that care about the changes. The more casual users will probably keep using reddit. Basically the lifecycle of most social media tbh

      Yeah. I doubt there will be any mass migration. Instead, we’ll have a few high quality users, which in my opinion is the best case.

        Yeah, I actually don’t mind the smaller user base. Although it looks like I’ll have to miss out on a few things (r/HistoricalCostuming and r/FashionHistory users don’t seem to be here yet in substantial numbers, for example). So long as we’re all excellent to each other it’s all good though (:

        Party on dudes

          @annenas Really hoping that the userbase may spread out a bit, too. It’s awesome that we’ve had v. techy early adopters but I’m really looking forward to other folks maybe coming on board

      I would venture a guess the more casual user’s window into this is only the handful of posts on Reddit that bubble to the top of r/all of third party apps shutting down. If they are uses of those apps, they probably scroll right on by and are none the wiser about the larger implications of all of this. And why should they care? If it doesn’t directly affect the way they use the platform, they will never even feel the impact of this.
