Why does anyone still use reddit? Why does anyone still use Twitter? Why does anyone still use Instagram?
Yeah, Reddit is not the ghost town I thought it would be after the mass exodus.
It's still active -- save the communities that got kneecapped by mods during the revolt (and sadly, most of those are now Discord-based rather than having any appreciable activity here).
The activity there now is a lot... dumber. Like much of the internet, the ratio of real people to braindead bots on Reddit is a lot different than a few years ago.
Like we had a secret (or not so secret) desire for it to crumble so we can crack a beer and say good riddance. 😁
But in the end, business mostly as usual.
I don't get why more people didn't move to Lemmy or mbin
Because most people did not use 3rd party apps and do not care about site′s management. Why move to someplace else if everything works great where you already are.
In my case it didn't work great. Without 3rd party apps reddit died. I see your point tho. Some people are fine with a buggy ass client full of ads
Inertia is a bitch. That's why.
