Reddit Activity Plummeted After The Protests (www.garbageday.email)

Excerpt:

Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago. This suggests the problem is way fewer users, not the same number of users browsing less. The huge and universal dropoff also suggests that people left, either because of the changes or the protests, and they aren’t coming back.

I've found there are still useful chunks of information on niche topics I follow only found on Reddit. I'll poke in see what I need to and drop out. No browsing, no posting, upvotes or account logins.

I've got more time for other things since ditching reddit, Lemmy is cool and all but I've lost that itch. The memes are pretty stale here and the communities I can browse every couple of days and keep up-to-date.

Overall it's been a good change for me, thanks reddit for shooting yourselves in the foot.
