    2000 upvotes on front page posts is what reddit had in ~2012, 2014 and by that point reddit was already one of my main time wasters

    To them 200k users leaving is nothing and they aren’t even all gone, most probably just use both now

    But wait 4 years and lemmy might have become a painless viable alternative

      They didn’t show a 1-1 Mapping of actual to displayed upvotes

        No and they started computing it differently at some point so it got a sudden jump from max 6 to 8k upvotes on the most popular posts to having 13ks in the front page frequently

        But I took that into account, my account is 13 years old on there, when stuff barely ever went in the thousands it already made me switch from 9gag to reddit

          When I started browsing reddit only the most upvoted post break to thousands. Most just hover around 500s.
