Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they’ve been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving…

    Report them? Why? How else is a community supposed to get started? It needs probably only a handful of a type A people posting stuff regularly and then that brings the crowd.

    I agree it’s not a great look because we’re in the established age of the internet… but what else is there to do?

      I guess we don’t talk about the same kind of scenario.

      You describe one where the creator did it in good faith, started posted for a bit, but isn’t that active. That’s completely fine, I agree with you.

      I am talking about people who started dozens or even hundreds of communities, just to leave them there without even posting a single thing. Looks like a power trip to me, and I could understand why newcomers might be reluctant in participating in such communities (especially if they come from Reddit)
