    I checked some discussion over there and most of the comments seemed to be people who don’t care cuz they don’t use em. Those who remained after api are just along for the ride I guess

    Only a few new about their chats getting deleted

      it’s zombie reddit over there. most of the people that stayed were just lurkers. They still think this was all caused by “power tripping mods” and don’t notice the site decaying around them. They’re just glad the mods that chastised them for being racist are gone.

        I wonder if anyone has done an analysis of the ratio between say upvotes and # of comments. I bet it is much worse for Reddit these days and as commentors dwindle so does content people will add. It’s a downward spiral as people lose interest, and it just becomes a circle jerk of bots fooling advertisers, lol.

          There’s still lots of comments over there, but the depth and variety of the comments seems to have sharply diminished.

        For some people the experience hasn’t decayed. There is still cat pics and vitriol, if that’s all they used to see that’s all they still see.
