nobody really left Twitter, nobody is really going to leave Reddit.
- skinkestek 3y agoI left, haven't logged in in months, do no consume it except when it is linked from somewhere else and then I look at it and go straight back.
- throwaway71271 3y agoI joined, so it evens out :)
- SCUSKU 3y agoYeah, it seems like the network effect is simply too strong to overcome in these two cases. I deleted my Twitter account in protest of the harsh approach Musk took in laying people off, but I find myself back on the platform. I imagine it will be similar with Reddit...
- icoder 3y agoI wonder how big the network effect is for Reddit. From a personal perspective it's nonexistent. There is a critical mass, for sure, and that may be just as hard to overcome, which makes it perhaps a bit less all-or-nothing.
- Hamuko 3y agoThe activity on my Twitter feed has definitely decreased ever since Musk took over. And I've decided to migrate basically >90% of my tweeting to Bluesky because I'd rather use Bluesky and I need to put my posts where my mouth is. Not that I can effectively even read those tweets now that the third-party apps are killed.
- mduggles 3y agoI mean the data suggests a fair number of people left Twitter or at least check in a lot less: https://datareportal.com/reports/digital-2023-deep-dive-the-state-of-twitter-in-april-2023 https://datareportal.com/reports/digital-2023-deep-dive-the-...

- ypiratex 3y agoBig difference between political reasons and usability reasons.
- ipacers 3y agoI left Twitter. Most of the people I follow are now on Mastodon, and with Ivory, it’s essentially almost the same experience. I don’t miss it at all.
- websap 3y agoWell the advertisers left. That should be worrisome enough for any business.
- Ekaros 3y agoIf they really wanted to protest they would nuke the content and delete their accounts. This is just child throwing temper tantrum. They will be back.
- JaumeGreen 3y agoI deleted my reddit account, 12+ years are no more. It was hard, but that way I will not go back to it. Comparing it with twitter, which I never left because I was never there to start will be hard. *yeah, I have a twitter account. It's the only point of contact with some companies. I may use it a couple of times a year max.
- aaomidi 3y agoI’ve left Twitter. I used to spend hours on it. Last week iOS unloaded the app for me since it had been so long since I used it.
- JanneVee 3y agoNobody left Tumblr? Right now it is up in the air if this is Twitter or Tumblr result if people are going to leave due to this discontent.
