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.
Edit: but also see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/88139/Reddit-traffic-returning-normal-sort-of which explains that ad visits are still waaay down - and continue going downhill.
Not to mention, this is user stats, not mod stats. Reddit with no moderation would have a pretty quick expiry date. Normal users no longer doomscrolling once they hear about an abstract software principle was never the plan (or at least I hope it wasn’t).
