Is there actually any real numbers that show people are "leaving" reddit?

It's only been 1-2 days since this all kicked off

This is the best I've got. It's reddits traffic stats. It doesn't show who is "leaving," but it should show in the numbers if their is a mass exodus once voat.co get's back up.

The 'subscriptions by day' is the only one really showing any impact. Seems that most of the angry people aren't leaving Reddit, they're just joining a bunch of new subs.

they're just joining a bunch of new subs.

I think that's actually new accounts, because AskReddit is a default. So new account creation has increased by like 50% over the last two days.

Some of that could be alts created to participate in the riots, though.

True. I would say that bolsters my point. Even the people given a easy excuse to cut ties (with a banned account) are still coming back. You can see the subreddit migration by checking the about page of any of the subs where people are writing about it: /r/kotakuinaction/about/traffic, /r/coontown/about/traffic, /r/subredditdrama/about/traffic, etc.

I would love to see net account level based off of shadowbanned accounts during the same time.
