You’re probably right. I can’t speak for the entire world, but at least in my country, reddit’s popularity (according to similarweb data, not my own perception) has only been growing since the api thing. People simply don’t care or come with the “but the communities I like are here” argument. I tried to stay for a while and promote lemmy, but people even got angry about it. They made it clear they don’t like lemmy at all, that I was being inconvenient, and aren’t willing to move. It was so funny to see them speaking ill of the social networks ran by “fascist ceos” as if reddit was any different.

It’s funny to see you so downvoted. Maybe people around here are in denial?
