It banned me lol and banned so many people that Congress wants to ban banning
i got booted from Reddit for saying "fuck Ukraine" in respose to some idiot praising a Van Gogh painting for "having the colors of the Ukraine flag". It was my third strike on Reddit. After explaining to the moderator of that particular sub that I was just irritated at the idea of politics creeping into art apreciation (and the fact that the painting in question was painted 100 years before Ukraine was a country), they recinded my strike, but too late apparently- still banned. I get a cute little red hammer emoji next to my name when I try to log on, which I haven't bothered trying to do for 8 or 9 months now.
This video is from August. Doesn't reddit still have millions of users? There's still bots copying content from there onto the fediverse and the number of active users on the threadiverse is dropping. 40k or so? That's a drop in the bucket.
It doesn't feel to me like anything changed besides there being more lemmy users.

Naa lemmy is growing, and I'm actually starting to see the opposite. Shit from here being copied to Reddit. Only have witnessed it a few times but it was odd seeing it be the reverse.
The monthly active users dropped significantly (probably expected) and december has seen a slight upwards trend. Hopefully that continues.

That's a pleasant surprise! 👍
The data I saw yesterday shows a marked improvement for active users in the last couple weeks. We're organically steadily growing again, I think.
I went back to reddit recently. The content is still much better and the comments way more than here. (Also not as many Linux bros) Lemmy for mobile and reddit for PC seems to be a good balance for me.
