"Despite these concessions, dozens of Redditors promised to stop using the site altogether "
There are dozens of us!! Lol
That link linked to /modcoord at perhaps dozens of moderators promised to leave, which is far more impactful than users. I know just from watching kbin, lemmy and other sites grow from this summer on that hundreds to thousands likely left reddit. Unfortunately it's probably a drop in the bucket but Web 2.0 was always probably going to win. The only real way I can see of us getting out of that en masse if when each site inevitably kills themselves through mismanagement.
I was a moderator of a minor misspelt subreddit. I marked it private when I left. That'll annoy about 700 - 2000 people. I haven't deleted my account, and I do visit every couple of months for a community that hasn't moved which I like (though it has gone downhill)
