What are people’s thoughts on how Reddit is coming out of this so far? How bad have things been for Reddit? Do we know how much their traffic has dropped and would a drip in traffic even hurry them that much. Why don’t we see talk of a new blackout at the end of the month?

    Wait 2 weeks, about 20-30% of reddit users use a third party application, 1 July most of them are going to wake up and find they can’t, that’s when the shoe will really drop.

      I don’t think those numbers are accurate at all, so you have any stats to back that up?

        My source is a post I saw on Reddit a few weeks ago but can’t find now. I give the reliability of those numbers a 6 out of 10 confidence rating.

      This. I don’t think the exodus has peaked yet. Nothing really changed to make people turn away, those of us who already found our way here, did so in anticipation of change. But that’s not how people work, most people will only seek an alternative AFTER their default way of doing something has been taken from them.

      The biggest wave is yet to come. (fediverse nodes plz no crash)
