    If the API price-gouging scandal didn’t bring them all over already, then you might be surprised just how many continue to hang on there, even after this one. And the next one. And the next.

    It’s just how people are. We don’t want to change.

    It will bring some people over. But I doubt there will be a flood.

      The API and pricing bullshit would have had 0 impact to people that (somehow manage to) us the Reddit app.
      It affected power users, mods and technically proficient people.

      If communities have agreed to take a stance against musk/twitter/Nazis and Reddit overruled that, then I imagine an exodus of people that the API debacle didn’t affect.

      But I don’t imagine it will be huge. Luckily, it will likely be decent people. So Reddit will slip more into a cesspool. And maybe more people will leave
