Millions of people?

It had almost a million subs at it's peak.

The semi-recent crackdown on right wing or in some cases extremely left wing subs has forced many to other platforms.

I would say millions have been pushed off in one way or the other.

Can confirm this didn't just happen to thedonald subreddit, several default subreddits (i.e. country-specific subreddits, apolicital subreddits, etc) became extremely left leaning, banning different opinions, forcing people to leave, essencially.

Definitely not millions, and definitely not people. I’d imagine bots outnumbered real users in that forsaken place of a subreddit.

We should start by asking how many of the daily reddit users are bots vs humans to set a baseline.

do you have any evidence that they aren't people? if so, i'd like to see it. actually, i'd like to see any methods of determining if a reddit user is a bot or not.
