I imagine a lot of people didn't want to have to migrate to a new site, especially one that's still growing itself. It doesn't have quite the wide range of subs or content yet ... I mean, I still browse s/all pretty regularly to find new subs. They're probably sticking with Reddit until it really and truly shits the bed and folds in on itself, and then they'll leave en-masse, just like the days of Digg.

It's also though that not all 20K were actually regulars - reading and participating every day - many were just casual browsers who didn't even login to Reddit everyday. And so they probably missed our announcements.

I know that even people who applied to be mods with us over the past year, none of them have reached out to us post-ban ... and applying to be a mod is a level of commitment far greater than just being a user.
