    I think there is a strong difference between people who were on reddit before and after 2016. People who joined after were already used to the official app and new website design, they don’t know anything else, so they tend not to care.

    There are also a lot of lurkers and casual browsers, they also tend not to care.

    The ones who do care a are very loud about it is mainly the old school hardcore members who did not have an official reddit app and who never got used to the new design

      Yep, a majority of the users never saw old.reddit and are used to social media being a single post taking up a whole screen where just tap and move on. A super majority weren’t there for the digg exodus where many of the same issues that are happening now came to a head. Its a totally different group of people on reddit

      Leading up to the blackout I had seen some alternatives suggested, joined Lemmy on Monday and have been very happy with the feel of this place

        God I cannot imagine wanting such a mindless existence. “God” blessed us with brains and most people try to turn them off.
