User visits and time spent on the social media platform normalize after traffic to Reddit briefly dipped last week during the blackout, according to SimilarWeb.
Also deleted the 3 accounts I had - it’s most like a paid ad. People need to stop giving two shits about Reddit, it’s a corporation that doesn’t care about its users yet a bunch of its users, even former ones, seem to overly care about it.
Haven’t deleted either of both of my 14 yr accounts yet, but I haven’t been on Reddit since the blackout and have plans to nuke it all after I navigate new subscriptions and think it through.
FWIW, I find the experience a refreshing re-start, just like when Digg and Slashdot fucked up and I’m already seeing shit posting, memes, and fresh content galore on Lemmy in just the last week. I doubt I’ll go back to Reddit except for some esoteric solutions that I find in searches.
I’m not planning on deleting mine, I do have some good technical answers on my account that I don’t want to delete. I figure stopping participating is more important than going back and deleting it.
Not completely normal. I deleted my account that was old enough to sign up for most websites on its own. I’m not the only one.

Mine was 8 years old and I haven’t touched it since the protests started
I deleted mine after that disastrous AMA that the head spaz put on. What a shit show.
