But your mom was probably not part of the 1% of Reddit posting things people cared about. A lot of those people left and, I'm told (I haven't been back to look), the change is noticeable.

Here are the subs I used to go to...

Askgaybros - Doesn't exist on the fediverse
Gaybros - exists but barely gets one post per day
Politics - I'm banned because of my username, but plenty of subscribers. Interestingly I can't figure out how to contact a moderator to get unbanned. The information page doesn't list who the moderators are. I had a similarly "offensive" name on Reddit for a decade and never got banned from r/politics
askreddit - plenty of subscribers on Lemmy
Android - plenty of subscribers on Lemmy
Linux - plenty of subscribers on Lemmy
Economics - maybe a post or two a day

When I go back to Reddit, on desktop, all of those are operating as they normally do, with no perceptible change on the amount of posts.
