If you look at the mod that's hosting the poll they never even left the site. This doesn't feel like something they're doing for the benefit of the community, it feels like they're doing it because they're addicted to the platform and aren't willing to make a community elsewhere. It just happens that they can open a poll and all the people that already left aren't going to have a chance to say no.

Not too mention that they're hosting it on Reddit itself, which requires an account to vote on polls. When many people already deleted their accounts.

I don't really see this being a threat to this community. There's a big subset of users who were never going to migrate to Lemmy, no matter what. Perhaps some of those users can be coaxed over here now that they're directly reachable again via the subreddit.

It's absolutely influenced. Everyone who found a nice place e.g. on here is just not on Reddit and not seeing it anymore. Had a similar poll on a different subreddit I completely missed.

update? i think a mod made an announcement on the lemmy instance

It created a mass exodus of users, especially active ones who post content, who have founded communities elsewhere. Lemmy exists, and for a lot of users Lemmy has completely replaced their reddit addiction. Though subreddits reopen, the quality of content has gotten significantly worse, and for users fed up with Reddit, they now have a viable alternative to go to

i had been on 196 for almost a year till reddit shut down. i don't care if they re open i'm not going back.

just wish you could see the results of the poll without an acct

it is a fairly popular sub but the shit posting quality is better in lemmy.

Maaaaaaybeeee... >.> <.<
