Lemmy needs to come up with their own term for an AMA.

I’ll be very curious to see the stats start rolling in regarding any decrease in Reddit’s views, etc. since July 1. I’m still using it, but only about half as much as I did with Apollo.

[–] TheSpookiestUser@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I doubt we will see any big dent in numbers so soon, if at all. The brutal honest truth is that most users of Reddit are casual lurkers who just want a content feed and do not care about anything else. This is why subreddits protested as they did, interrupting the content feed with blackouts and extremely niche rules.

What may actually happen is that a lot of the content creators leave, which will decrease the quality of the site in the long term and maybe push out the casual user when the content gets bad enough. This is not something easily quantifiable, so we'll just have to wait and see.

But personally, I'm ok even if reddit isn't toppled. Now that I've stopped using it, I have no stake in the matter anymore.

Im a casual reddit lurker. I left because the official reddit app is horrible to browse even casually

The fact that you used a 3rd party app and just commented on a thread means you are not as casual as the average Reddit consumer.

[–] anlumo@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah, in the beginning of the debacle many people commented that they didn’t even know that there were third party clients.

AMAs died when Reddit fired Victoria, they haven’t been worth a shit in a while.
