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.

Because the most active contributing users left.

could have fooled me; my biggest issue with the fediverse is the lack of content and reddit's content just keeps getting bigger and bigger by the day.

fortunately it works for me since i want to detox myself from all social media and the fediverse has so little content to i'm done after 30/45mins per day; in fact, i can still spend hours on reddit unregistered lurker and get more content every day than the entirety of the fediverse since its creation, combined.
