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...

Yes, because it has lost some of its most passionate users. The only effect will be a subtle drop in quality to the site, though, which will be completely unnoticeable to the average user.

I go back for /nosleep all the time - the quality of the rest of the site has frankly dropped drastically.

People are still rioting so to speak, content just seems weak - as in I haven't been on popular really since I joined lemmy, certainly not in weeks. Who can really trust those that didn't care to be all that interesting?

The politics page is boring. The headlines say nothing. Seriously - maybe subtle now, but clear enough for a good chunk. At the very least, this didn't just go away
