Do we at this point have any substantial data on just how many users Reddit actually lost due to this?

Any resources would be greatly appreciated.

As a sidenote, I’ll add that they certainly lost my account the second I couldn’t use RiF anymore.

    I had an 8 year old account with a few hundred thousand karma, deleted it on July 1st once BaconReader went down.

    Switching to Lemmy makes me want to participate even more and hopefully foster more people to join.

      I had an active 11 year old account that I deleted.

      The final straw for me was an interaction with a ham fisted admin these last few days. It really and honestly is a toxic environment there, and the admins are following the lead from Spez, so it’s deeply embedded into the culture.

        I wonder if you could have sold those accounts. You get done money and Reddit gets worse. Win-win.
