Reddit Activity Plummeted After The Protests (www.garbageday.email)

Excerpt:

Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago. This suggests the problem is way fewer users, not the same number of users browsing less. The huge and universal dropoff also suggests that people left, either because of the changes or the protests, and they aren’t coming back.

I used to use reddit everyday. Now it's like once a week, same as lemmy too. Now I just surf FB MP in my spare time and watch YouTube..

A lot more tiktok for me. Say what you will of the platform, it's at the beginning of the enshittification spectrum and has a ton of original and interesting content.

I do use Lemmy every day too tho.

I feel like the vast majority of tiktok haters never tried it. The algorithm works really well, and it's no where near as addictive as people claim. Could it be bad for children, sure. But you could say the same for a lot of other social media.

It's also the only major platform that has limiting features built into it, if you do have a social media problem.

Way more YouTube for me, a Bit more of Twitch, a bit more Discord, and even a bit more of Instagram than I thought I would, but still, way way more Lemmy than anything else

Way more grass touching for me. Down on YouTube activity, Discord, Lemmy, all of it. Turns out picking up a botany hobby can be INCREDIBLY ADDICTIVE and every waking moment will be spent wading through prairies and forests hunting for rare Asclepias species.
