Wait 2 weeks, about 20-30% of reddit users use a third party application, 1 July most of them are going to wake up and find they can't, that's when the shoe will really drop.
I don't think those numbers are accurate at all, so you have any stats to back that up?
Third party apps are about 10% of total Android downloads. It is also theorized that the 10% are more likely to be power users than the Reddit average. 20% seems on the upper bounds of what I'd expect.
My source is a post I saw on Reddit a few weeks ago but can't find now. I give the reliability of those numbers a 6 out of 10 confidence rating.
This. I don't think the exodus has peaked yet. Nothing really changed to make people turn away, those of us who already found our way here, did so in anticipation of change. But that's not how people work, most people will only seek an alternative AFTER their default way of doing something has been taken from them.
The biggest wave is yet to come. (fediverse nodes plz no crash)
Sync for Lemmy is coming!
