Reddit

Me.

Apollo got shut down so I do not intend to return.

I dropped reddit on mobile, but on desktop i still use it from time to time. Although i was never really a heavy user to begin with.

I did. Fuck Reddit.

I did that too and don't regret it ;)

I'm Spartacus!

Me and you can check my reddit account under the same name.

I have used it for about 10 minutes in total since June. I used to use it a ton more.

Here. I quit after so many subs went dark and they started kicking mods out. I‘m a mod on reddit myself and thats the only reason I open the app every couple of days, just to check my queue.

Dropped fully, not yet. But I am smoothly porting over more and more of my usage to Lemmy.

I did. Haven't visited reddit since Sync stopped working. Should probably drop by and delete my account.

I would use this more of I could find a decent app. Any suggestions?

Infinity for Reddit no longer refreshes content so I guess that's it for me. I'm not using the first party app. I hope one day these sites and services see that this type of shit is like paywalling a news site. It just makes a large percentage of the userbase leave and degrades the ultimate relevance of the site.

I think we can be reasonably accurate on how many people are using Lemmy/Kbin, but not on how many people are not using Reddit. Even how many people are actually using Reddit is less accurate as the data is locked away and estimated from other metrics.

If Reddit is going to IPO then accurate usage stats is the last thing it once, like any company it'll go for the most flattering numbers it can generate and push thatball the way.

I'm here to stay. I was using Infinity to lurk Reddit, but I stopped using it when it went towards the subscription model.

This is actually an interesting question. First thing to note is that any estimation is by accounts, not by actual people (one person can have multiple alts on both). Honestly I don’t think it’s possible to have meaningful estimation.

That said, I think the first task is to figure out if we can estimate the number of accounts deleted on Reddit during the controversial period (let’s say April when the API change was starting) up til now.

I’m not aware whether there’s public daily data on it from Reddit, but there have been attempts at archiving reddit during this time and of course before. So one can theoretically use the archives to find out “all” existing users. And check the links now via browser (or curl) to see if they still exist, treat that as a good-enough proxy for deleted account.

One may get an estimate of when they were deleted by checking the links in the archives if possible. If not, there’s also Wayback machine that we may use to get a sense, but there are limitations of that.

Lemmy tracks account registration daily, I believe. I don’t know what stats one needs to run but maybe if we can line up the time series of account creation on Lemmy and account deletion on Reddit, we might have some sense of what a lower bound is for those who jumped ship forever.

+1 for me

Dropped it on mobile for lemmy but still use desktop.
