Prior to the protest reddit was in full support of the protest. Most polls on subs supported a shutdown. Now, seemingly every community cant understand why the protest was needed and they’re calling it a mod power trip. There is a 3rd possibility. This is an unfounded conspiracy but reddit themselves could be manipulating scores.

    My partner still hasn’t left Reddit yet, but because it’s a habit for her now AND Apollo still works… once Apollo is gone she’s already signaled she is moving on.

    I wonder how many others are just waiting for the third party’s to be killed before moving on?

      i use RIF and old.reddit with RES and have been doing so for almost a decade at this point. if RIF is gone, I’m not using reddit on my phone anymore. maybe i continue using the website… i’m not sure. but i think they will eventually kill old.reddit and RES just like they are killing RIF

      essentially it’s probably gonna be my last 2 weeks on reddit

      My wife hasn’t left either but she’s a once a week lurker anyway. Just hits up the drama subs for a quick hit of bullshit and then moves back to Facebook for some more drama dosing. She knows about all of this, but the drama subs like TIFU are already fully populated over there with content, so there’s no desire to see cat pics on Lemmy.
