    I noticed that yesterday’s Reddit daily thread closed with fewer than 100 comments for the first time

      Haven’t looked at the DT there in a couple weeks. I feel sad for the lost souls who haven’t found their way here 💔

        Yeah some are put off by the ui and the bugs. I think a bunch just lost interest in this format overall.

          I can say for myself that I became an avid DTer during the lockdowns and continued to drift in and out afterwards, out of habit. The Reddit blackout was a little bit of a reset switch for that habit - no longer instinctively go to r/melbourne when I open up a browser.

          Still love the vibes of a/the DT (which is why I’m here!) but it stopped being such an instant thing that I opened.

        Not sure how number of comments left over a 24 hour period has anything to do with “the downvoters” but OK.

        My point is, it used to get 500+ comments daily. It’s been limping along since the blackout, but to see the day end with a double-digit number of comments is something unique up to this point. I wonder how long until that becomes more common…
