I’ve tried looking online but I’m not savvy enough to find a good answer. I haven’t been on Reddit since June 30, and am interested in seeing the number of people who have migrated. I know the Reddit user base is huge, so idk if it has been enough to hurt the site. Fuck spez.

Not sure about anyone else, but I left for good (deleted the Reddit app from my phone).

I'm not a mod, never had my own subreddit, posted/commented very infrequently and used the official Reddit app. The reason I left is because the company is ran by idiots who do things against their users' best interest. I for one am not going to be a sheep in their herd.

Even if not many people left Reddit, I believe this whole fiasco planted the seed for the future. Next time people are unhappy with Reddit there will be an active alternative that they can migrate to.
