It 100% brought me here. Didn't know what Lemmy was until the chaos over there. ultimately deleted my account never looked back. And that was a lot of eyeball time they lost from me.
We're missing the overall mass of people that both generate new, and answer questions on the content that was there, but I'm OK with that and I actually get better engagement here with those missing mass of people. I'm sure there's a point of more is not better when it comes to users.
I don't want to get all 'Rick and Morty is for high IQs' but I would imagine the type of user that left Reddit in the recent protest is a bit more clued in than the average r/jokes commenter.
The discussions around here certainly have a flavour of the Old Reddit, before Digg even.
I didn't hit Reddit until Digg's problems started up, but those, like these now here, where the good 'ol days :)
