Is there any evidence that Reddit has suffered at all from the exodus to Lemmy? (lemmy.world)

Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they've been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving...

Still seem like the same amount of people over there. I really haven't noticed much, other than a lot less dissenting opinions as far as ideology goes. Admittedly, reddit stopped being a regular thing for me, as my political leanings differ from most of the users there. I'd rather walk around dog shit than willfully stepping in it. My work also has picked up and I've found other things to occupy my time.

I went back and looked at a few things, and realized some of the subs have gone sideways. There's no balance, and one side has taken control of the narrative. This is especially true of Ukraine war type subs, and other political stuff. I don't care about reddit, anymore, but an echo chamber is good for nobody.
