MODERATORS
Why would anyone use Reddit?
If the paid API wasn't rolled out as a complete trainwreck I'd probably be paying. And probably wouldn't be here, too.
Relay was my app for 12 years so I wish him well with this but I'm not planning on going back to using it or reddit.
Sorry that was a rhetorical question.
Momentum/inertia
If the changes don't directly affect people most of them won't change their ways. That's just how it is.
A lot of people are "stuck" because of the content still there, like Psythik said; you either look for info in Reddit or you get to navigate through blogspam. (I do the later because I'd rather not give Reddit more traffic. Screw it. Complex websearching techniques alleviate the issue.)
Others are like this:
I use it because of specific support communities where there isn’t a good alternative or where I’ve built connections.
Yeah, Lemmy is very small compared to Reddit.
