no idea where old reddit users went. maybe to smaller forums based on niches, like it used to be? i know a lot just completely stopped using it after various changes the multiple times they did obvious pushes against users or mods. i also use it a lot less than before. voat could have been bigger, but the far right and liberal elements were successful in painting most free speech alternatives as only far right, curtailing larger general growth of the platforms. as a left leaning person this annoys me, since the liberal oriented social media landscape is so heavily censored in favor of the status quo
