Good point, I do wonder what % of userbase are in support of these protest and what % don’t care? Seems like ~100k has joined these fediverse alternatives out of reddit’s 50,000,000 daily active users 0.2% if my tired maths hasn’t failed me.
Not that I want the same userbase as reddit, far from it…
My 50pence is that what reddit has fucked up is their monopoly on where these communities reside.
+1… I’d wager that a significant portion of that 0.2% (if indeed the number) is the most active / dedicated reddit users (power users). It’s the mods, active posters, etc that are creating and fostering content on the whole site. The rest of the lurkers won’t stay if there’s nothing engaging being posted or if the subs are an unmodded mess.

What really matters is the mods and users that submit quality content. A million lurkers don’t really contribute.
