      Remember that many people didn’t get on Lemmy/Kbin until July 1st. The July stats will be much more indicative of how many people left or cut down their use.

        I know more people who are just fine with using the official app than I know people who hate it. It’s kinda sad.

        Seems like the backlash was loud but ultimately nowhere strong enough.

          Depends on what the goal was. If the goal was to have so many people leave reddit that it dies, then yeah. Nowhere near strong enough for that (and I don’t think that was ever going to happen).

          If the goal was to get enough people motivated to make an alternative (like this one or kbin or whatever) viable, then I think it was extremely effective. Prior to June, these spaces didn’t have enough content and discussion to be entertaining for me personally. But I deleted my reddit account on June 30th, and I haven’t once regretted that or gone back to the site because Lemmy has been enough
