I could actually see engagement staying relatively the same since most people are probably popping Reddit open for a few minutes, maybe engaging, then moving on.
What I do find odd is how consistent Posts per minute are over time. But it doesn’t dip or rise with comments. So now I’m wondering how automated a lot of posting is.
It’s also low hanging fruit, since the state could drag their feet on redistricting until it’s too close to the 2024 election. So the party doesn’t lose seats and the Supreme Courts gets to say they threw human decency a bone.
