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.

Only thing I miss from reddit is the r/SamHarris subreddit. It was pretty much the only place on the internet, that I know of, where one could have serious, intellectually honest discussions and disagreements.

I like Lemmy but the content here is, for the most part, focused on certain popular topics and even though there's still a lot to discuss there the issue is that people have quite strong opinions and generally aren't willing to entertain alternative views on those subjects but rather have already made their mind and the replies are generally based on emotions but not always facts.
