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.

It is unlikely that even reddit themselves are able to conclusively answer this, as the protests made many people leave and many other people come or come back.

The userbase "churned" a great deal, which serves to obscure the specifics.

To add to this, if I were spez, and I was bleeding users rapidly, I would be willing to employ bots to inflate my numbers. I sincerely doubt spez is more ethical than I am, and it takes no genius to come up with this idea.

Makes sense. Spez will do whatever it takes to make everything seem fine. I want to see the site implode, but I think it’s too big to fail.

Everything's fine at Reddit HQ.

Yup. And there is no war in Ba Sing Se.
