More and more people are and have been leaving Reddit.
However, Reddit is expanding its reach and popularity in other regions with large populations, like India and developing countries across the globe as well as working to attract other cultures/circles and younger demographics. Strictly from a numbers perspective, it’s really only getting bigger.
And the people who are there now don’t give a single gnat turd about privacy, censorship, APIs, artificial intelligence, bots, ads, crappy design, scams/spam, bad moderation/administration, centralized social media, toxic culture, or any of the other million reasons why people like you and I left. If they did, they wouldn’t be there now.
Having said that, a lot of folks in the Lemmy-esque parts of the Fediverse came here to get away from Reddit’s culture, not just its mods and admins. A mass exodus of Redditors coming here is basically the very last thing they want. And truly, every time there is a big fiasco that leads to lots of people coming here from Reddit, it’s almost always the case that they come, they leave, and most of what remains is the very worst of Reddit that couldn’t get back in because they’re so toxic they were completely banned. I said what I said.
need more and more people to leave reddit and join lemmy for good
I agree, I wish more people would leave Reddit and use lemmy

Honestly, apart of me says no, because the oversaturation will cause history to repeat itself.
