Most people who leave Reddit in dust-ups like this are the ones disheartened by the community. It isn't so much a "I demand my free speech" crowd as a "I don't want to be associated with these vile chuckleheads" crowd, particularly as the most vocal users of Reddit during any controversy tend to be the ones most "oppressed." The trolls aren't leaving Reddit, they're demonstrating (quite amply) that Reddit can't do anything about them. It's the ones that don't want to put up with the hassle of a troll war that leave.First, the people leaving reddit are shitlords who want to harass people.
