See eg thedonald which transitioned to an external forum until a mod shut it down because of (not really sure, I didn't follow, but it was a working site for a couple years.)

It’s still there. It’s just at patriots.win now. Although upvotes vary between 100 and 1,000 so, much smaller than it was on Reddit where you’d easily get 10,000+ upvotes.

  So like 1 to 10 real people, where it used to be 100?

    Sure whatever makes you feel better about depersonalizing the millions of people who voted for Trump.

I'd be interested. If there was something that was even 1% as large as r/games I'd be fine weaning off. Hopefully a community that isn't hellbent on bashing anything that isn't a console game. Most of my tech subs are covered pretty well here, but not media.
