Excerpt:

Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago. This suggests the problem is way fewer users, not the same number of users browsing less. The huge and universal dropoff also suggests that people left, either because of the changes or the protests, and they aren’t coming back.

    Lotta people went to Tumblr for a bit, also Discord for sports and live chats

    Honestly having a few apps to cycle through has felt pretty good for me

      I tried getting back into tumblr. Then a few weeks ago they just shittified their ugly clunky browser interface so badly I left again. I wish there was a fine arts reblogging substitute. Having a feed full of art was my anti-anxiety fix for years

        Yeah Tumblr was great for that. Most of the artists migrated to Instagram, so sometimes I hold my nose and check them out there, but it’s definitely not perfect

        May I recommend pixelfed? For me it’s a great way to find other photographers and their work
