    Uhhh 95% of users use the official Reddit app, they won’t even notice. Saw it on cited chart the other day.

      I always used the official app because I couldn’t be bothered. Still stopped using it because I won’t support this shit.

      It’s not just users to users.

      Third party app users are likely some of the most engaged users Reddit has, so if or as those users find a new home, the overall content quality on Reddit declines and lurkers shift their attention elsewhere.

      And keep in mind, it’s not Reddit v. Lemmy. It’s Reddit v. Netflix, Instagram, TikTok, etc because Reddit is competing for attention.
