Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they've been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving...

Same. However, my reddit usage has decreased significantly. I used to spend 1-2 hours there every day (which was waaaay too much), now I spend 5-10 minutes on reddit at best. The terrible mobile design drives me away because it keeps nagging me to use their app. On the other hand, I also only use lemmy maybe 15-20 minutes per day.

So in total, the stupid decisions of reddit have improved my digital well-being because I spend less time mindlessly scrolling.

Uh....thanks, spez?

1-2 hours? I was probably spending 3-4 hours a day doomscrolling on Reddit. Now I don't browse there at all. I'll still use Reddit if I google something and the answer to my question is a Reddit post, but I literally do not doomscroll there anymore.

Yeah I just use old.Reddit, even on mobile. It’s a bit cumbersome so I just do a quick scan and then I’m usually done.

I use Memmy here and it’s really similar to Apollo. I find myself on Lemmy at least 4X more time than Reddit
