Yep. I remember. I was a Digg exodus member. I remember so well that I know this is nothing like Digg's exodus.
Digg's exodus was LITERALLY OVERNIGHT. Why? Because Kevin Rose was a greedy fucker who changed the entire system to bow down to a select few content creators (see: people who paid him money), and released a completely redesign UI and UX that was godawful as fuck. Nothing worked. If you weren't paying Digg, your content wouldn't be seen. Ever. It took this one release (Digg v4) that made everyone so angry and confused how it worked (with absolutely no way to even use the old interface), that people had 0 options but to go to the one we hated: reddit.
The changes that you see in reddit are normal. They're nothing new. Every year since I've been here, something like this happens and everyone threatens to leave, but the site continues to grow.
Censoring borderline illegal content and content that is in no way constructive rather just hurtful for the sake of being hurtful is not going to cause an exodus from reddit remotely close to Digg's. I'm not defending or attacking reddit's decision to censor. They have investors and major advertisers, and they need to have a common ground that keeps majority of the users happy while keeping their money-people happy. I can guarantee a majority of reddit's user base not only have never stumbled into the questionable content subreddits, but would probably support getting rid of those.
What will cause an exodus from reddit? Completely changing the UX/UI that makes users so uncomfortable with the change which takes more than a few seconds to adapt. This is for every free service out there. It's why reddit has been so smart to keep the extremely simple interface that has been almost identical since launch (I did lurk prior to joining big time). What can also cause an exodus? Giving more voting power to power users and/or forcing paid content to have priority over "freely" submitted content. NONE of this is happening. NONE.
So yes. Go to Voat. While you're at it, LOOK AT THEIR TOP POST ABOUT HOW THEY NEED TO CENSOR. GEE. It's almost as if they don't want to deal with the legal ramifications of questionable content or even borderline illegal content.
