    A burst of traffic doesn’t mean much if it doesn’t stay. It’s a safe assumption that most people participating in “fuck spez” already had an account, so they aren’t getting many new users from this.

      Is there any indication people have actually left Reddit? Obviously here on Lemmy a lot of us came from Reddit but we’re definitely a small minority.

      Why would a person even become a new user just to shit on spez, they have no stake in the drama anyway? I still have an account but I have lessened my usage to a fraction. I don’t go to R/place to “protest”, nor do I make bot accounts or alts to spam the place.
