Migrations take time, it was never going to be a flick of a switch. Reddit content will slowly get worse and worse, and Lemmy content (or some other competitor) will get better and better as more people move. it’s those core users that generate great discussion that matter the most and those people are looking for somewhere else.

The users who left were often likely to be the most dedicated (which is why they were the most butt hurt). This is only the beginning and the exodus will continue and the content will decline, although I don't know why I'm even telling you this since you're probably a spezbot.

Reddit: we are going to make our site objectively worse for everyone

Everyone: fuck you reddit, we will stop using reddit in protest

Reddit: ok

Everyone: Oh... Wait... So like I actually have to stop using reddit?

Reddit: ...

Everyone: Fine, we'll come back but I am fake mad about it!

Insignificant? Putting aside the issue that it’s not the number that counts but the content the new lemmings create and the number of post shoot up by a million, I don’t have the numbers but we put a heavy pressure on Lemmy’s instances.

Nobody pushes over the coke machine first try. You gotta keep rocking it.

yeah but… who cares? we all won: there doesn’t need to be winners and losers
