Do we at this point have any substantial data on just how many users Reddit actually lost due to this?
Any resources would be greatly appreciated.
As a sidenote, I’ll add that they certainly lost my account the second I couldn’t use RiF anymore.

This is false. RIF clearly gets rate limited. Occasionally it will actually load the front page but every other time it throws 429 errors
Infinity is not. Also, this:

The api changes will occur in the following weeks.
Also, apparently RIF works when not logged in from what ive read. Its actually an oauth thing.

For RIF, the first day I was getting the 429 error. Then it was showing old.r.com. After a couple days, rif loaded like it normally would pre shutdown. I was just logged out and Im not logging back in. I havnt noticed any issues. NSFW items still load.
