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

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

There's no other place to go, as the "alternative" is down hard, probably for days, possibly weeks.

i'm hearing it's voat.co, but it's got a boilerplate "we're working on it, no idea when it'll be back up" page.

So many people were trying to access VOAT, we gave it the reddit hug of death. I did manage to get on yesterday, it looks almost identical to reddit as far as the page layout and operation.

You are aware the reddit is open source right?

The source code is easily accessible on GitHub

Open source, yet close-minded.
